Dedicated To The Men of God Who Preach the Word of God As It
Is To Men As They Are
"Preach The Word"
The Furniture Builder
I Thessalonians 4:11
"And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands."
Here was a man that very few people knew because of his quietness and manner of life, but he was genuine."
Three Things:
There are three phrases in this verse of Scripture that describe this man.
I. HIS WAY:
"quiet"
He asked why he didn*t say much, his reply was, "If I don*t say much I won*t have to take much back."
II. HIS WALK:
"own business"
He looked after his own business and never interfered in the life of anyone else.
Ill. HIS WORK:
"to work with your own hands."
Up to his retirement he worked in the furniture factory. The department he worked in was building dining room furniture.
Maybe he never attained great heights or established the place of prominence, but I just thought how many tables he built to provide a place for families to sit down and eat and fellowship.
We may not be a great speaker, but we can be a great worker with our hands.
