Today I read Luke 22:35-38, in which Jesus tells us to be aware of changing times and to change what we do as needed. Today I considered that I need to update what I carry with me daily.

Nothing to Essentials

Jesus tells the disciples they have to go from carrying nothing to carrying everything they would need (Luke 22:35-38). Jesus originally told the disciples they did not have to carry anything with them, and they would lack nothing. Jesus said times have changed and they now need to carry their wallet, leather bag (which carries essentials), and even a sword. If a disciple did not have a sword, they were to sell one of their garments to buy a sword. The disciples had to change what they carried based on the changing times.

Questions and Thoughts for Today

When times change, we have to change what we do to make it through those new times. Currently most people carry some form of payment for paying for things like cash, a credit card, or their phone. But with the coming changes people may also need to carry essential items and even a personal protection device. There are many videos and lists out there of what people consider part of their everyday carry items. There are also lists and videos of individuals talking about what they can legally carry for personal protection in their area.

What is part of your everyday carry kit? Do you have a personal protection device that you carry?
