Be Prepared!
Prepared: properly expectant, organized, or equipped; ready; to put in proper condition or readiness. The opposite of being prepared is being rather disorganized or unaware. There are probably a lot of things in life we are neither prepared for, nor equipped to handle at the moment. They seem to creep up on us and then we are scrambling to find the solution and just struggling the whole time to keep our heads above water. There are numerous times we are admonished in scripture to "prepare" or "be prepared". All of them have to do with getting the right frame of reference, right frame of mind, or the right frame of spirit. Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life.
