Here on Pilgrim's Farm...
we live as quietly and simply as the Lord gives our living
we love that our Lord God has admonished us to study to be quiet...
to work with our hands, minding our own business
we don't feel the need to get involved in the worldly affairs of politics...
or protests against what we feel has wronged us...
or fretting over the chaos and noise of the world's system and wickedness
we are keepers at home on the farm and in the cottage...
doing with our hands and minds what the Lord has given us to do
quietly, peacefully, working as hard as we need to...
and being good stewards as He has blessed us with
and as we work...
the Lord God blesses as He sees fit...
with whatever He increases for our needs
our purpose on earth as God's children and the sheep of Christ...
is to honor and glorify Him by His work of sovereign, saving grace
knowing this...
we hold to the word of God which is the true food for our souls...
giving us the spiritual nutrition of the Bread of Life, our Lord Jesus Christ
1 Thessalonians 4:11,12
and that ye study to be quiet,
and to do your own business,
and to work with your own hands,
as we have commanded you;
that ye may walk honestly toward them that are without,
and that ye may have lack of nothing.
(King James Version)
and the Greek translation saying the same thing:
and to have as your ambition to be quiet
and to practice your own things
and to work with your own hands,
just as we commanded you,
in order that you may walk becomingly toward the ones outside
and may have need of nothing.
May the Lord give the Bread of Life, for your healing, by His saving grace.
May the Lord give the Bread of Life, for your healing, by His saving grace.
