"And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding." Proverbs 17:27. Women too! :).


Our Spirit needs to be fervant, yet also to be cool. Fervency is related to diligence in the service of the Lord. Whereas coolness is related to knowledge. If the Christian would simply bear in mind that God cannot lead anyone who is in turmoil, he might be spared many errors. Never decide on any course or start to do anything while emotion is agitating like a roaring sea. It is in the times of emotional upheaval that mistakes are readily made. The mind is easily affected by feelings, and with a restless mind how can we distinguish between right and wrong? As emotion pulsates, the understanding becomes deceived and even conscience is rendered unreliable. Decisions made in such circumstances are likely afterwards to be regretted.

Cultivate a cool Spirit. For, by this, you will open the way for God to give you understanding.
 
How many of us could win the game show that asked the question of "whether this person sinned or not?" Many would be so quick on the reaction button they may even set a new record in that games history of doing so. But Is that the point of God? To win His reaction times? Or to wait patiently and matter of factly toward letting God answer for us and thru us? We become so pulsated with honor to be "the one" to honor God first. God has many things happening in the scene we are in that we can't understand enough to deliver His desired timing to things. Oh the coolness of His spirit in us.
