I like to be prepared. I’m not very good at just winging it. I like check lists! In other words, I like to have all of my ducks lined up in a row.
If I’m going on a trip, I like to have maps and guidebooks. I like to know what birds and animals and flowers I’m likely to see at the time I’m planning to go. I like to see what the weather is supposed to be like and make up an itinerary with a plan of where I’ll stay and where I’ll eat and what activities I plan to do along the way.
If my trip involves a ferry or a border crossing, I like to be prepared for that ahead of time as well.
This doesn’t mean I don’t change my plan or that I don’t have a plan B but I do like to have a plan.
Proverbs gives us some advice:
Do your best, prepare for the worst—
then trust God to bring victory.
Proverbs 21:31 (The Message)
