Preparation...

 “The horse is prepared against the day of battle, but safety is of the LORD”

-Proverbs 21:31 KJV

Each week, we go to our local fruit and vegetable market to stock up on fresh foods that are not available in our center store. Before we eat them, we must prepare them by soaking them in bleach water. The ability to prepare is a gift from God, but we never forget that ultimately all things are in His hands. Kathy is busy preparing a new elective class in Marine Biology for Term 4, and Scott prepares for his new advisory role on the COVID response team. Ukarumpa prepares for new government requirements regarding mask wearing, temperature checks, and limited gatherings of people. The PNG government prepares for its first real surge in COVID patients across the country. As Christians, we prepare ourselves this Holy Week to remember the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We fix our eyes on an eternal perspective, our preparation to spend eternity with Him because of His mercy, grace and sacrifice. But until that day, we continue to serve those in our spheres of influence, knowing that, ultimately, the battle belongs to the LORD. May you be blessed this week as you prepare to celebrate Easter with your family, and we trust that Jesus is working in you and through you as you seek Him this Easter season!
