Calm Power

Calmness is the cradle of power.

— J. G. Holland —

Fact

I’ve yet to read anywhere in the Bible where we are instructed to be crazy, angry, or spazzed out when faced with a challenge, but it does talk a lot about staying calm…

2 Timothy 4:5, “But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship.”

Ecclesiastes 7:9, “Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, for anger resides in the bosom of fools.”

Proverbs 14:17, “A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,”

Proverbs 15:18, “A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but the slow to anger calms a dispute.”

Psalm 37:37, “Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.”


There is something I would add to the opening quote…

Calmness is the cradle of power, AND God is the cradle of calmness.

 

Galatians 5:22, “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives:  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”
