Keep Calm and Carry On, a Biblical Perspective?

Don't WorryBecause of the press coverage, we have been talking about the Keep Calm and Carry On slogan at church over the past couple of weeks. Last week someone told me that they had just travelled across Europe (Austria, I think, funnily enough), were entering a new location and were very nervous, and someone had placed the poster on the wall, and that kept her going through that weekend (it felt as if it was a message from God).

Meantime, on listening to San Sharma giving a presentation on Wednesday, he commented that the message on my t-shirt had kept him going! For years, people have been giving me Matthew 6:34 as a verse: “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”, and this seems to chime in very much with “Keep Calm and Carry On”.

Just been looking at your web site and saw the “Biblical perspective” bit.
That was me! It was a visit to Belgium and I know it was God using the poster to speak directly to me!
