“The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” Exodus 14:14
It is best in life to try to stay cool, calm, and collected when the following scenarios occur:
A minor rear end collision on the highway.
Someone cuts in front of you on the road.
Lady in quick checkout has more than 10 items.
You lose your ID or a credit card.
Person steals parking space you had been waiting on.
You are passed over for promotion.
Someone is spreading rumors about you.
You shrink your favorite outfit in dryer.
Getting bent out of shape over things we can’t control only raises your blood pressure and could result in you hurting your Christian witness. If you spout off even if another person is to blame it is not very Christlike. Stay cool, pray, and deal with it.
God wants his children to be at peace. Relax when you feel like screaming. Take a breath. Chill. And pray.
PRAYER: I can think of many times I popped a cork when I should have just been calm. Help me choose calmness when I feel otherwise. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
