I Choose God

Someone sent me a video about the horrible prediction of what is planned for the future of humans and how we need to prep and she wanted to know my thoughts. Prepping is stockpiling food, ammunition, and other supplies in preparations for a possible catastrophic disaster or emergency. There are many people who can not afford, do not have the space nor the provisions to stockpile. I believe God wants us to prepare our hearts and others for the end times because we all have an end time! These are my thoughts - right or wrong.

I choose not to watch/read things that cause anxiety. I do not want to know all of the evil that causes people to panic. Matthew 6: 27, "Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" Worry is a sin that I don't want to fall into. Proverbs 3: 25-26, "Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared." I believe God is my Provider. Philippians 4: 19, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Paul knows from experience that God met his needs every time and never let him down. As a missionary, he faced all kinds of needs when he was in prison, faced persecution and mistreated by people who hated him. Hebrews 13: 5-6, "'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you'....So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?'" God has proved Himself faithful beyond belief in my life.


Our world has big problems but my Problem Solver is bigger. Deuteronomy 31: 8, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." When dark thoughts come, tell God, "I trust You, God."


"I believe that God is giving the world the biggest altar call in recent history. It is time to get our hearts right and fix our faith in Him!"
