Fw: GREAT LEADERS REMAIN CALM

Team:

Here is a great Quote by the most successful college basketball coach of all time.

GREAT LEADERS REMAIN CALM UNDER PRESSURE!

"Peaks and valleys belong in the Alps, not in the temperament and emotions - of a leader."

John Wooden

When the Storm hit the disciples - Jesus woke up and said, "Be Still."

Was He talking to the Storm or to the Disciples?

I think Jesus was talking to both. Jesus is in control of everything because He created everything.

GREAT LEADERS REMAIN CALM UNDER PRESSURE!

When He told the Storm to be Calm the Storm had to obey. However when He tells us to be Calm we have a choice.

Friends, God has so much Peace and Calmness available to us. He gave us the Holy Spirit to comfort us.

Life is tough and frustrating at times.

Jesus said, "be of good cheer. I have overcome the World."

He will give us a "Peace that the world can't understand."

The world will say, "how can you guys have Peace when everything around you is collapsing?"

Then we will say,

"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!" Isaiah 26:3

Trust - Fix our Eyes on Him!

Ernest Hemingway said this,

"Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try."

GREAT LEADERS REMAIN CALM UNDER PRESSURE!

Just Go!

Rick
