Have you ever felt like a disaster was just around the corner?
In today’s world there are many different types of insurance. We can insure our car, our house, and even the cost of our health care to name a few. This insurance is important and can help to get our monetary lives back to normal but how can we prepare mentally and emotionally to handle a disaster?
Our best insurance for this is to be close to God “before” the disaster comes. Just as we need to buy car insurance before the accident we also need to be close to God “before” the disaster.
Yes, we can, and should, always run to Him even if we aren’t close to Him. In fact, sometimes He sends us a disaster to get us to come close to Him. Some people have called this a “Severe Mercy.” I believe this is what happened to me in 1998.
But if we are close to Him before the crisis comes it will be much easier to go through it. It takes a period of time to get to know God, to learn how He operates, and to learn to recognize His voice. When disaster strikes we need help fast.
“...look for the Lord before it is too late...” Isaiah 55:6
Just think how close Abraham must have been to God. He recognized God’s voice when God told him to sacrifice his son. He could have wondered, “Is that really you, God?” It would have been a logical time for him to wonder if the devil was telling him to do this. After all, the devil would like to kill all of us.
But we don’t have any record of Abraham wondering who had spoken to him. I believe he lived so close to God that he “knew” His voice.
“...they (sheep) follow him (Jesus) because they know his voice.”
John 10:4
Unlike other types of insurance, this kind will cover all types of disasters and it’s absolutely free.
I want to have my disaster insurance before the disaster. How about you?
