The world is changing quickly. Wars, division, economic uncertainty, violence, technology, politics—there is a lot happening around us, and burying your head in the sand doesn’t make any of it disappear.

Pay attention. Know what’s happening. Think for yourself. Be prepared, not afraid. Take care of your family. Have a plan. Strengthen your finances. Strengthen your home. Most importantly, strengthen your relationship with God.

But don’t allow the noise of the world to consume you either. Fear can become just as dangerous as ignorance. Jesus told His disciples, “See that ye be not troubled” even while warning them that difficult times would come (Matthew 24:6).

Stay awake without living scared.

Watch. Pray. Prepare. Keep your eyes open and your heart anchored in God.

We don’t know what tomorrow holds.

But we can be ready for whatever tomorrow brings.
