DISASTER SURVIVAL KIT 3

Mark 13:7-8 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. (8) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

HAVE A SUPPLY OF SPIRITUAL FOOD

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the [bread of life]: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

In our modern day and age it is hard to prepare food without running water and electricity and the people who come to a disaster sight and provide meals, not only for those whose homes were damaged, but for the workers as well, are truly a blessing. Many Christian relief organizations and especially the Salvation Army can always be found to help provide food for those in need. Sometimes you might be somewhere that it is hard to get help to. You should always have a supply on hand to last at least 3 days if disaster strikes.

I have heard the saying all my life "You are what you eat." When we take food into our body it becomes a part of our body. If we eat healthy food we will usually have healthy bodies. If we don't (and believe me I know from experience) then we will ultimately pay the price with our health. I have been trying to lose weight and I haven't yet got down to what I didn't want to get up to.

The same is true with us spiritually. If we consume Jesus in our life we become more like Him. The way that we consume Him spiritually is by getting to know him intimately. Incorporate Him into our lives and strive to imitate him. We then become strong and will be sustained during a spiritual disaster. It is also sad when someone else comes to us seeking spiritual food and our spiritual cupboards are bare. We should have enough of Jesus in our own lives that we can share Him with others who have spiritual needs.

Do you have a supply of spiritual food on hand?


That comes from having a close personal relationship with Him through prayer and study of His word. Don't put yourself in a position to have to have it from an outside source. Always be ready to draw upon the spiritual streams within you and be willing to share your faith with others in a disaster.
