Preparedness….

 Preparedness….

As I watch, storms, wars, floods, fires..the thoughts of preparedness for these survivors has kept coming to mind…and then in Bible study we touched on it as well…being prepared to leave, evacuate quickly…what do you take at a moment’s notice…what do you fill a box or suitcase with…what is important…what do we need…

One article lists the “p’s of preparation …

• “People

• Pets

• Papers (important documents)

• Phone numbers

• Prescriptions (medications and glasses)

• Pictures (and other mementos)

• PCs (for the info stored on them)

• Plastic (credit cards, cash)

• Planning”

(Notice, no clothing😊)

There are a multitude of articles, a few listed below…

From Genesis to Revelation, the word “prepare” is used…preparing meals, the temple, preparing for war, etc…man’s preparations and God’s preparations…

Reading through some of God’s preparations, I so appreciate them…He has and is preparing so much for his own…our preparation is coming to Him in repentance and humility believing on the Lord Jesus Christ…no suitcases of papers, worldly goods, no amount of money or credit cards, identification, extra food…he has all we need…

Thank YOU….

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Psalm 23:5

2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

John 14:2-3

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—

1 Corinthians 2:9

For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

2 Corinthians 5:2-5

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Revelation 21:1-4
