WE STOCK SOME FOOD AND STORE SOME WATER
We stock some food and store some water
We will be prepared to feed our sons and feed our daughters
We have bought some silver and we own some gold
Hoping we survive the cataclysms the future holds.

Some have bought a gun or maybe two
They have lots of bullets not just a few.
Many think they are ready to provide and to protect their homes,
From the events of tomorrow coming in the Dark unknown.

While some believe in order to be safe it is prudent to expatriate
Others question where to flee, for what is coming is coming to the entire human race.
Some call this line of thinking conspiracy theory or just plain fear
Those same people believe that with the next election we can say happy days are here.

How many, while in preparing for tomorrow overlooked today?
The battle is here and now, evil is warring and we are in the fray.
If you want to protect your home and family then get on your knees and pray.
If we continue to apply political solutions to spiritual problems no one will be saved.

Many know the seven deadly sins because by sin we are entertained
But most never heard of the seven elements of decay because we don’t want to be restrained.
The seven first laws of physics may be known by some with appropriate learning
But the seven pillars of wisdom are known by but a few who are discerning.

The world has violated prudence, temperance, fortitude, justice, hope, true faith and charity.
Holding to knowledge without character, pleasure without conscience, wealth without work, politics without principle, business without morality, religion without sacrifice and science without regard for humanity.
This is true among the masses, the leaders and all the world’s architects and builders.
But “Wisdom, hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars.”

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”
The darkness and trials in the days ahead will be more than just demanding.
Ignoring the prolific warnings and the ancient prophets is a game for fools
And preparing is impossible unless you have in your possession all the tools.

Those who have made preparations are indeed exercising wisdom
They are aware that tomorrow will be dangerous, dark and fearsome.
But collecting a warehouse full of goods is but an exercise in futility,
if your preparation doesn’t include a personal trip to Calvary.

The ultimate preparation is to be a friend with Jesus Christ
You must be on your knees in sincerity and offering Him your life.
He is mighty to save and mighty to preserve those who belong to Him
Collecting provision is not enough if you’re not letting go of sin.
