If You Stay Ready, You Never Have To Get Ready

Yesterday I went to a Safety Training at our Police Services and one of the things I learned that was shocking is that a person cannot yell longer than 15 minutes. Who wants to test that?

There was a lot of material to be covered that was kind of boring but important to know. I like the part about if you're prepared, you can help yourself and then you will be able to help others.

Isn't that true in all aspects of life?

We can't help others if we don't help ourselves first.

We can't love others if we don't love ourselves first.

We can't make someone else happy if we're not happy with ourselves first.

We can't give what we don't have.

So how do we do all of these things for ourselves first?

If you stay ready, you never have to get ready.



Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' - Mark 12:13

Matthew 6:33-34

The Message (MSG)

 ^30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
 ³⁴"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
