This is a GREAT article by Carolyn Nicolaysen - written for Meridian Magazine. She shares some powerful ideas for safety in these latter-days. For years we've been taught to prepare. I've posted many of those preparedness teachings from Prophets HERE.
Enjoy Sister Nicolaysen's article:
"Down through the ages, prophets have called us to action – to prepare ourselves and our families both spiritually and temporally for tests and opposition. While Noah called the world to repent, he and his family followed God’s command to build an Ark. And Joseph with his coat of many colors was first betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery, then became a ruler of Egypt - eventually ruling over his brothers, and saving their families temporally through his provident leadership. We learn from the Book of Mormon: "But behold, this was an advantage to the Nephites; for it was impossible for the robbers to lay siege sufficiently long to have any effect upon the Nephites, because of their much provisions which they had laid up in store." (3 Nephi 4:1)
