We are so fortunate to have meteorologists who prepare us for impending winter weather or storms. Most of us ready our refrigerators and adjust our plans accordingly.
Although we may still encounter unexpected surprises or extended delays related to the weather, many times those delays turn out to be blessings.
For some, the snow provides much needed rest, catch-up on cleaning, or recovery from a lingering illness. For others, it offers the opportunity to prepare for future projects or deadlines. Either way, we can feel more prepared for what's ahead.
And yet, there are those things we cannot possibly see coming and have no way to prepare for. For those times, I like the reminder offered by my friends Linda and Dalene in their book Words to Live By: A Word a Week: "The best way to prepare is to stay close to God. If your heart is focused on Him, trusting in His plan will help you be prepared for anything that may happen" (page 103).
This week as we think about and activate the word PREPARE in our daily lives, let's thank the Lord that nothing takes Him by surprise and that He will send His angels to guard and guide us through whatever lies ahead.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
