Keep Calm

Perhaps you've seen the "Keep Calm" phrases: "Keep Calm and Just Smile" ... "Keep Calm and Order Pizza" ... "Keep Calm and Call Batman" - the list is endless. Keeping calm should be a virtue of every child of God! "The Lord God says this, 'Listen carefully, I am laying in Zion a Stone, a tested Stone, a precious Cornerstone for the [secure] foundation, firmly placed. He who believes [who trusts in, relies on, and adheres to that Stone] will not be disturbed or give way [in sudden panic].'" (Isaiah 28:16, AMP). I'm not a builder, of course, but what I understand about a building's cornerstone is that it is the stone-piece that not only marks the origin of the building but also unites or joins intersecting walls; it's also a common practice for that fundamental piece of the building to be specially inscribed or marked. Do you see the beautiful message of Jesus as our Cornerstone! Any anxiousness is settled in Christ as we are united in Him. "Holy Spirit, Peace divine - Still this restless heart of mine - Speak to calm this tossing sea - Stayed in Thy tranquility" (S. Longfellow). Because of and in Jesus ... keep calm.
