Really?
Be at ease, do not freeze. (Jim Sheard and Wally Armstrong. Sports authors)
It’s the bottom of the ninth and your team is trailing by one run. You’re up to bat; the count is 3 balls & 2 strikes; and the coach sent you to the plate with these words: “Be at ease, do not freeze.” Really? Can you really do that? Baseball is only a game, but if you’re a professional baseball player, it could be costly. It’s important to be in control, especially at times like this.
For the Lord your God is living among you. . . . He will calm all your fears. (Zephaniah 3:17).
