Lesson 16: Noah had Protection
Presented by Debbie Kent
Noah had divine protection: if you are following the commandments, you too are entitled to this. But what are some other ways we can protect ourselves?
These can include: having insurance, a will or trust; identity theft; fraud schemes; protecting our computers and defending ourselves while walking down the street. In addition to this there is surviving after a disaster. Historically there are two major threats in survival situations: wild dogs/animals, and gangsters/looters. At some point, you may need some type of neighborhood security or security for your family or a way to kill food. If you are going to have weapons as part of your preparedness plan it is important to obtain them now and learn how to safely use and store them and don’t forget the ammunition.
Now what about those who would plunder and break in and take that which we have stored for our families' needs? Don't give this one more idle thought. There is a God in heaven whom we have obeyed. Do you suppose he would abandon those who have kept his commandments? He said, "If ye are prepared, ye need not fear." (D&C 38:30)
