Quiet in the Land

"God's children belong to a kingdom which is not of this world; they are strangers and pilgrims upon earth, and a part of their scriptural character is, that they are 'quiet in the land'. How crucial then, is it for me— to be found watching with my lamp burning, diligently engaged in my proper calling! For the Lord has not called me to set governments right— but to preach the gospel, to proclaim the glory of His name, and to endeavor to win souls! Happy is the servant, whom his Master finds doing so, when He returns!" —John Newton


Quiet in the Land

"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Romans 5:1-2

Quiet in the Land

"Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble." —Andrew Murray

Quiet in the Land

“Distractions must be conquered or they will conquer us. So let us cultivate simplicity; let us want fewer things; let us walk in the Spirit; let us fill our minds with the Word of God and our hearts with praise. In that way we can live in peace even in such a distraught world as this.” —A.W. Tozer

Quiet in the Land

"Shall we therefore set ourselves to manifest, in all our converse...that our relations and neighbors, and all with whom we have dealings, may observe a change in us for the better, and may take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus? And let not the impressions of it ever wear off, but living and dying, let us be found among the 'quiet in the land.' We all wish to see quiet families, and quiet churches, and quiet neighborhoods, and quiet nations; and it will be so if there be quiet hearts; and not otherwise." —Matthew Henry, The Quest for Meekness and Quietness of Spirit
