"If a ruler’s anger rises against you,
    do not leave your post;
    calmness can lay great offenses to rest."

- Ecclesiastes 10:4

Stay Calm and Remain Operational    

Solomon now gives advice to the servant, the soldier, the employee or anyone under authority. If you make a mistake that causes anger and rebuke to arise in your master, your commander, your boss or any leader, do not respond with rash behavior. Instead, remain calm and continue at your job.

The opposite of “calmness” could be any of a variety of inappropriate responses: fear, anger, quitting, blaming, etc. All of these would be a failure and could make a resolution to the problem impossible.

  • Calmness gives you time to think. What can you do to fix the problem?
  • Calmness keeps you at your post managing your responsibilities. Doing the job you were assigned to do is commendable every time.
  • Calmness gives the angered authority time to reevaluate their response to you. Was their judgment correct? Did they overreact? Do they really want to lose your productivity? Remember people in authority are also human and sometimes need to rethink their position.

In any case, Solomon is right when he says, your “calmness can lay great offenses to rest.”
And, the opposite is true! Your overreacting in fear, anger or with a letter of resignation can create another problem, besides making the original situation irreparable.

Solomon’s speaks in a similar fashion in these Proverbs:

  Christian Quote from Church History
"Let it be understood that those who are not found living as He taught are not Christians - even though they profess with the lips the teachings of Christ."
- Justin Martyr, 160 AD
Something to Ponder??

Eutychianism was a Christological Heresy in
433 AD that believed that the human nature of Christ was absorbed by the Logos. This would mean that Jesus was neither fully human nor fully divine, but was a mixture of humanity and divinity.

  A structure of stone in the general shape of a pyramid was found in 2013 underwater at the south end of the Sea of Galilee. The man-made, cone shaped structure is over 30 feet tall and 230 feet wide at its base. It is made of unhewn basalt boulders and seems to have served some purpose around 2000 BC or before.
Investigation is just beginning.
