[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Contagiously Calm by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

How many disasters have been averted because one person refused to buckle
under the strain? It’s this kind of composure Paul is summoning when he
says: “Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be
anxious about anything” (Philippians 4:5-6 NIV).

The Greek word translated here as “gentleness” describes a temperament
that’s seasoned and mature. It envisions an attitude fitting to the
occasion, levelheaded and tempered. This gentleness is “evident to
all.” Family members take note. Your friends sense a difference. Coworkers
benefit from it.

The gentle person is sober minded and clear thinking. The contagiously calm
person is the one who reminds others God is in control. Pursue this
gentleness. The Lord is near. You are not alone. You may feel alone, you
may think you’re alone, but there is never a moment in which you face life
without help.

God is near—be anxious for nothing!
