Proverbs 22:3- Sunday prepper Bible Study
“A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.”
Since the beginning of hurricane season, we have been focusing on some of the basics of prepping on Prepper Recon. I thought this would also be a good opportunity to get back to some of the basic Bible verses that speak about preparedness. Today’s verse is one of my favorite prepper verses. Last week, we said that prepping was an act of faith, not a lack thereof. It shows that you believe God’s Word and follow the instructions He has given. Today’s verse also serves to confirm that the Bible considers it prudent to take refuge from coming danger. The other side of today’s verse tells us the simple pay no attention to the possibility of coming calamity. It goes on to say they will pay a price for their foolishness.
Our government has been making bad choice after bad choice when it comes to our monetary system. We continue to devalue the dollar by excessive money printing. The government has imposed itself into the arena of healthcare which is an economic time bomb. Just last week, we saw the administration make some acknowledgement of the risk that the new heath care law places on employment when they rolled back the date of the employer mandate portion of the law to 2015.
The most important step you can take to hedge yourself against the possibility of hard times ahead is to begin to prepare a refuge. You can begin to build your refuge by cutting spending and developing a more aggressive debt reduction and saving plan. You can build an emergency fund of 6 months total expenses. You can also build up a 6 month store of long term storable food. Even if things do get better, all of these actions will put you in a better position to prosper in good times as well as giving you refuge for hard times.
If you are new to prepping or would like to learn more about how to prepare for tomorrow, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan. The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die?” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.
Have a blessed week and happy prepping!
