We don't know what GOD will do in the elections coming up. I say we have to be prepared for anything to come. Physically and spiritually. I keep a cooler in my van with chips, water and soda. If I see a homeless person I'm able to give them something. You don't know how GOD will use you and it builds up treasures in heaven. What may mean little to you, may be a turning point for that person. You don't have to preached to them, someone else might do that later.
With what's happening in this country. I also keep extra food and water. I have 2 portable solar panels, a couple of USB battery packs, and lights with USB connectors. If anything happens, at least I'll have some power for my lights, cell phone and tablet. GOD may use you to help someone else with power needs to.
I've heard people say, "GOD will provide for me" I say, "Like he did with Elijah Fed by Ravens 1 Kings 17:2-16? OK, so when the ravens drop you a half eaten Big Mac and some fries be sure to praise GOD. You didn't prepare so GOD will provide another way. By being prepared you'll be able to help others too. This is also a chance to build up treasures in heaven.
It does not look good for this country, prepare for what might happen.

I've long understood that my emergency supplies just might be there for someone else! You sound like a man on a mission, someone who knows what he's doing here. Certainly the right perspective, we are to take care of other's needs here, and that will be treasures to us there!

Much love!

What party does God support? Will there be any foreigners in Heaven? These questions make sense in this thread. It does boggle the mind., yes, it does.

So ya suppose that Jesus was lying when He said. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear." ?

Or that the raven dropped Elijah, half eaten and unworthy food?

A mans wealth is not determined by what he has ...but by what he can afford to give away.

Scripture tells us ...if you give out of abundance then what have you given?
And if you give in order to be recognized then your recognition is your reward.

Just some food for thought🙄
