Just keep calm


It is the time of year when everything cranks up a notch and starts going crazy. There are parties to attend, presents to buy, recitals to go to, and halls to be decked. Plus all the regular tasks we attend to.

When the silly season gets you frazzled, here’s what you need to repeat over and over until it works: Just stay calm.

Exodus 14:14 (NLT) Just stay calm.

Other translations of the same passage sound like this: Hold your peace: remain at rest: keep your mouth shut.

Things get out of perspective quickly when we’re pressed and stressed. Problems seem gigantic and, “You wouldn’t stay calm if you were in my shoes.”

Think on this: God told the children of Israel to, “Just stay calm,” while they were being chased down by an army and looking into the deep Red Sea. Once they calmed down, their situation changed.

So next time you’re being chased by an army (or a pack of ninjas) with no way out, remember to keep your cool. Hold on to the peace you have. Things will change.

Be amazing.
