Preparation. It’s what everyone has been doing these past few days getting ready for winter weather to sweep in. Now it’s here. How did you prepare?
These students weren’t preparing for a winter storm last Monday, but they were preparing - preparing for daily work.
* Gus had a bit of a strained back.
* Bucky had some gravels in his shoe.
Neither was anything out of the ordinary (we get these all the time as part of them being used), but both were necessary to take care of as preparation to being ridden.
This is a picture of Believers today.
It seems we will prepare for emergencies, grabbing all the milk, bread, and Little Debbie’s we can find for the winter storms, but honestly how much time do we invest in preparing every day? How are we preparing for battles every day and not just for the war?
Not enough.
We care for our horses and cows every day, making sure their weight is good, their feed is at hand, and their homes are secure so that when the hard weather comes they can actually be at peace through it all.
- Why don’t we Christians prepare like this?
- Why do we get all fired up and scramble for Bible verses to help us when spiritual darkness, like a white out snow storm, hammers down?
- Why do we panic instead of prepare?
Be like these children - prepare daily to be ready for the war. And then let the peace of God rule your heart.
