Finding Peace During a Crisis - FINDING PEACE IN THE FACE OF A DISASTER

We will find it easier to remain calm in an emergency if we have planned in advance how to respond.  But does preparing indicate that we lack faith in Jehovah? Not at all.  In fact, preparing for a disaster shows that we do have faith in his ability to care for us.  How so? God's Word advises us to prepare for potential disasters.  (Read Proverbs 22:3.And through magazine articles, congregation meetings, and timely announcements, God's organization has repeatedly urged us to prepare for an emergency.  Do we trust Jehovah? If so, we will follow that advice now-before a disaster strikes. 

Consider the experience of a sister named Margaret. She was ordered to evacuate her home after a brush fire  broke out in her area.  Because so many people were trying to flee all at once, the roads were blocked and traffic came to a halt.  The air became thick with black smoke, and Margaret was trapped in her vehicle for  a time.  However, she survived because she was prepared.  In her purse she kept a map that she could consult to find an evacuation route. She had even driven along the route in advance so she could easily follow it in an emergency.  Thanks to her preparation, Margaret survived the experience.
