In Ps. 131 David describes the subduing of his soul. The soul is the source of fretting and the spirit is the place of quiet. The work of the Spirit is to bring us to humility, weaning the soul (or flesh) away from ruling our mind and life. Peace and quiet come from living in and from the spirit. 
Living for God's will alone is a place of simplicity and that means peace with God. Christ doesn't give us peace as an aspect, He gives us His own life which is full of peace. Forgiveness of sin is the peace that comes from the Blood of Christ. 
"Make it your ambition to live a quiet life." Quiet is not idle nor the absence of responsibility. Quiet is the space and peace to produce our calling. 
Quietness is a way of life. The world currently is in a literal assault of noise 'pollution' for the express purpose of destroying peace. Mankind does not have an "ambition to live a quiet life" as is commanded in 1 Thess. 4:11. We are called to pray for those in authority for this purpose: that we may "live a tranquil and quiet life." 
Carole comments that Job was a man fully engaged. The friends of Job dealt with 'truth' but not in heart relationship with God. Martha says you cannot be in a real relationship with Christ unless your heart is fully open to be pierced, broken, hurt. Christ wants our passion to belong to Him. View More Episodes
