Stonewall Jackson's Faith
Isaiah 26:3-4
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.…


At a battle in the American Civil War, a general asked Stonewall Jackson how it was he kept so cool while the bullets literally rained about him. Jackson instantly became grave, and earnestly answered, "My religions belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time of my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready." After a pause, he added, looking his questioner in the face, "That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave."
