Paul exhorted the Thessalonian Church to study to be quiet, and to do their own business, and to work with their own hands. It could be that there were busy-bodies in the church who were gossiping.
This exhortation, however, is one that I think would be well for My church on earth to obey. Solomon wrote that the person who keeps his lips keeps his soul from troubles.
My beloved David prayed a wonderful prayer. He prayed: Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips (Psalm141:3). This would be a good prayer to pray today and every day.
1 THESSALONIANS 4:11; PROVERBS 21:23; PSALM 141:3
