COOL DOWN


February 2, 2014


I think the era we are in now is like the tensest era so far. This is an era where out of tension, people use drugs to make them sleep; make them stay awake; relieve weariness; assist with weight gain or weight reduction etc. You hear the word, “Under pressure” more than you hear the word, good day. Anger has suddenly become the most displayed emotion. Frustration isn’t farfetched.

In Exo 14, I love what Moses did. After the children of Israel got out of Egypt and were faced with the red sea, and right behind them were chariots filled with hungry looking wicked Egyptians. Out of frustration and anger, the children of Israel shouted, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt, that’s why you brought us to come and die in the wilderness? Didn’t we tell you to leave us alone in Egypt? Did we complain to you?”

For me, their complaints were enough to make a sane man go insane, but Moses didn’t give a fuss. Why? Because he had seen all the things that God had done in the past, so that gave him enough and uncommon boldness to reply them that, “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”

Had Moses fret, maybe he would have surrendered to the Egyptians, but he didn’t even pray before God came through for him. In the face of the storm, Jesus was sleeping. Friends, no matter what is happening, the first thing to do is to relax. Don’t kill yourself by worrying, after all worry would only bury you in deeper mess. Worry and nervousness is an indication of fear which is anti-faith.

Cool down sir/ma, God is still on the throne, so you are super covered.

Have a cool and calm time in His presence.
