Sunday Prepper Bible Study Hebrews 11:6
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
Faith is the sustaining force for a Christian. It is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. It is what gives us the strength to say “no” to the things of this world in hope that we will receive a better inheritance in the world to come. Today’s verse also tells us that it is a necessary element in pleasing God. It tells us that God rewards those who earnestly seek Him. How does he reward us when we seek him? One way is he rewards us with direction. Do you have a situation that you just can’t figure out? Take some time out every day to read The Bible or listen to a good sermon. You will be surprised at just how specific God can be in giving you the direction that you should go. Another way he rewards us is by granting us peace. Are you feeling anxious about the end of the world as we know it? Turn your attention to God by getting into His word and listening to worship music. As he fills you with his spirit, you will experience a sense of peace that no drug could ever provide.
Does having faith mean we shouldn’t prep? Is that a lack of faith when I make an effort to get ready for hard times? If I truly have faith, shouldn’t I trust God to take care of me when the stuff hits the fan? No, no and no. Faith means that I believe in God’s word, so what does his word say? Proverbs 22:3 says “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty”. Proverbs 21:20 says “In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has”. That sounds like God expects us to be ready for unforeseen disasters. I would expect God to bail me out if I pay no attention to The Bible.
Another area of the Bible that encourages me to prep is Deuteronomy 28. It talks about the blessing that God will pour out on an obedient nation and the curses He will pour out on a nation that turns its back on Him. If you think America is an obedient nation, I guess you have nothing to worry about. With the way we have kicked God out of the classroom, out of the courtroom and now out of the military, I tend to expect the curses.
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!
