Preparation
We look at the chaos around us and wonder, 'What is next?!' The world feels like sinking sand beneath our feet. But there is a sure and firm foundation. Are we standing on that foundation? Are we prepared for the storms ahead or are we in danger of being washed away in the tide of turmoil?
The most important area for us to prepare is spiritually. In Matt 25, Jesus calls it getting oil in our lamps. This comes from consecrating our lives to our Savior. There are steps we can take daily to get oil in our lamps and prepare for the times ahead and any challenges we may face in this life.
Physical preparation is also important as we prepare to meet the trails and tribulations that come our way in this life. They don't have to knock us down and out but we do need to step out of our comfort zones and align ourselves with God's will and plan for our lives.
It is all well and good to prepare ourselves and meet the challenges ahead. But what about our children, spouse, parents, siblings and extended family? If they haven't surrendered their lives to Jesus, they are in great danger. What can we do?
