Just stay calm

Have you ever "gotten ahead of yourself"? You know, acted before you thought? It is really easy to do sometimes. Things are happening all around you, there is a lot of noise and clamor, you are in an uncomfortable spot, and you start making decisions, start acting in ways that are unproductive and inefficient.

I've seen people make bad decisions because they are quick to push the "panic button". Hey, I know, I, too, have pressed that button because I hadn't taken the time to evaluate and think things through. It is easily done.

Today's word is Exodus 14:14, NLT, which reads, "The LORD Himself will fight for you. Just stay calm."

We all know that staying calm is often much easier said than done. But, I can tell you from experience that I don't make the best decisions when I am in a panic. And, I would venture to say that most people can say the same. I have found, again, through experience, that if I will take a breath and evaluate the situation, I usually make much better decisions. Besides, I know that GOD is with me and He always helps.

The next time you find yourself in a sticky, prickly, tight, tough situation, remember today's word: "The LORD Himself will fight for you." GOD is right beside you, helping you through. He will fight for us and show us the answers we need. The best thing we can do is just stay calm.

Be Blessed,
