Prepare: Be The Light!

A friend of mine always says, “Prepare, Watch and Pray”. Good advice for every day use 🙂

So how do we prepare? Some say we don’t need to, but preparation never hurts! We don’t know who will “win” this election, or how long it might be in court. But taking steps to “prepare” can not hurts us, it can only help us 🙂

First, buy a Bible NOW.  While they are still written as they should be.  God’s Word reminds us of just how much God loves us and how faithful He is. We will need those reminders in the coming days. And we will want to share them. Also there are many who wish to alter the Bible so that God’s Word will allow them to lead whatever lifestyle they choose.  We need God’s Word as it is, not as some wish it were.

Christianbook.com has some very inexpensive Bibles.   Personally, I use the KJV version, but I have a really good friend who uses the ESV version.  What matters is make sure you buy a Bible that was produced before 2021, and one that truly reflects God’s Word.

Second, I heard a great idea on the radio.  Decorate early for Christmas.  Normally, I like to wait until Thanksgiving.  But the person on the radio had a great idea!  Not only are Christmas decorations happy, but they remind us every day that Jesus came and He is coming back!  So put those lights up, light up your neighborhood. We need not fear!

Third (or maybe it should be first, lol) Thank Jesus.  There is a site that sells Thank You Jesus yard signs!  Here is a link:  Thank You Jesus Yard Signs. I have personally ordered from them, and this is the most inexpensive place to get them that I know of.  A young man started it and you can feel really good about helping him spread Christ’s love for us ?

Fourth, Keep a prayer journal.  It’s important to realize that God is still here.  And He still loves you.  There may be some really hard times.  It will help to know that God is still listening and still answering your prayers!

Fifth, Wear a Cross. There may soon come a time where the church (meaning God’s people) are forced to “go underground”. Remember the fish? In the old days, Christians hung a fish above their door or drew one on the ground to single that Christians were welcome and safe. If such as day comes again, Christians may need to be careful.

But right now, we are still free! When we wear a cross, it reminds us of what is important to us, and it also encourages the Christians we encounter, for they know they are among “family”. While we are still free to wear a Cross, wear one and encourage one another 🙂

These are just a few ideas. Share your own! Be The Light!
