He who has knowledge spares his words, and man of understanding has a cool spirit.
In our society the word “cool” has taken on new significance. A “Cool Dude” or “Cool Cat” is one who is though to have it all together - they are in the know of the latest fads and fashion. They arehip, mod and trendy!
As far as we know, Solomon was the first to use this term cool in scripture, but he was not trying to be “in” with the fads and fashions of his surroundings, especially with spiritual matters...
The righteous person truly is “cool” because they are disciplined, well balanced and in touch with the Holy Spirit. They don’t “blow up” or lose control of their emotions at the drop of a hat.
Cool (kar) can be defined as:
- • quiet
- • calm
- • self-controlled
- • composed
Composed is a term often used to describe an artist who can take a variety of notes, pitches and sounds - then arrange them to make a melodious masterpiece!
So, let’s “be cool” in our daily routines. Lets turn our sorrow into singing and our tragedies into triumphs. We are not victims - we are victorious through Christ our Lord!
Play on, my friends...
