Today I read 1 Timothy 5:8, in which we are expected to take care of our households. Today I considered that my preparation plans for disaster and crisis situations need to include other people.

Provide for Your Household

Many people live in the same household and house as others and are expected to take care of those relatives (1 Timothy 5:8). If a person does not take care of their relatives living in their house, they are considered to have denied the faith. The are not acting like a Christian.

Questions and Thoughts for Today

People have different thoughts concerning who they should be prepared to support in a crisis situation. Some want to care for their church family, their entire town, their own family, or just themselves. Whomever you prepare for, God is telling us that we should at least also prepare for our family members that live with us.

Who are you preparing for besides yourself?
