Faithful Cycles: Preparing to Be Unprepared
Real Life. Real Struggles. Real Truth.
Truth Cycle:
Stocked up. Packed out. First aid? Check. Food? Check. Plans? Made. You’ve done everything right. You’ve prepared for the worst case scenario. But life still throws something sideways something you didn’t plan for, didn’t see coming, couldn’t control. And it hits you: the only way to truly be ready is to be prepared… to be unprepared.
Biblical Truth:
Preparedness is wise. But trust is essential. God doesn’t ask us to control every outcome. He asks us to trust Him when we can’t.
“The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple pass on and suffer for it.” Proverbs 27:12 (NKJV)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV)
“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Matthew 24:44 (NKJV)
Quick Word:
Prepare what you can. Plan what you know. But trust in the One who knows what you don’t. Real peace isn’t in the plan it’s in the presence of God when the plan breaks down.
