The revelation to store food may be as essential to our temporal salvation today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah.~~ President Ezra Taft Benson

Building your Ark *Lesson 17: The Ark wasn’t Built in a Day

Lesson 17: The Ark wasn’t Built in a Day
Presented by Debbie Kent

Just as Noah didn’t build his Ark in one day, neither can you do this. I know that being prepared in all things seems a bit daunting, that’s why we do it one board at a time, until our Arks are complete. Think you can’t afford it? Read the story at the end about the family of 15 who acquired their food store in one year for $58.81. We have been given promises that as we do our very best the Lord will help with the rest. I know this to be true. Here are a few quotes concerning this.

“Regularly put into your home storage a few wholesome, basic food items and some water that is safe to drink. Over time you can expand this into a longer-term supply and other staples. As you do your very best, you can be confident that "the barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail.“ You shall be prepared, and because you are prepared, you "shall not fear." Bishop Keith B. McMullin “Lay Up In Store”

“Now you ask where do I get the money for these things. The Lord will make it possible, if we make a firm commitment, for every LDS family to have a year’s supply of food reserves…All we have to do is decide, commit to do it, and then keep the commitment. Miracles will take place: the way will be opened and we will have our storage areas filled.  Vaughn J. Featherstone, April Conference. 1976
