Timothy 2:2 …that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life,
Here
MacArthur breaks things down a little bit. “Quiet” refers to the absence to
problems on the outside, maybe problems that we have a hand in creating.
“Peaceable” refers to the absence of problems on the inside, within ourselves.
We, as believers, are not called to live in what I’ll just call “drama”; you
know what I’m talking about. We are not called to live in a bubble of constant
agitation; either of our own creation or someone else’s! As the church, we are
the representation of Christ, we are His bride. This is a great responsibility.
That we should take great care to live out correctly. It’s easy to get caught
up in what “we” want, what “we” think should happen, or how “we” have been
wronged, but the fact is “we” shouldn’t ever enter into it. Our focus should be
in what God wants, and if that is our main objective, our only one, we will
live “…a quiet and peaceable life.”
