Preparedness and the Scriptures

There are many examples of preparedness in the scriptures. Here are a few.

  • Noah (Genesis 6-8) – Noah had to take enough food for his family and the animals to last a year plus the time until the next harvest.
  • Joseph of Egypt (Genesis 41) – Joseph directed the storing of grain during seven plenteous years to be used during seven years of famine.  We know from 1 Nephi 5:14 that one reason God guided him in this effort was so he could save his father Jacob and his brothers from the famine.
