Since 1907 the universal Scout Motto has been “Be Prepared,” sage advice for everyday usage! A teacher prepares with a lesson plan; an attorney with an agenda; a pilot with a preflight check-list; a farmer with seeds; a rancher with a saddle; a football player with a game plan; a plumber with a wrench; a carpenter with a hammer; a minister with a sermon - - and so on! And as we all stand on the thresh-hold of a tomorrow, it serves us well to prepare and equip ourselves for our journey into tomorrow’s “unchartered and unknown wilderness.” This personal trek can be laden with the dismay of ill-health, financial woes, strained relationships, along with the stress of political turmoil, environmental contamination, climate change, natural calamities, etc. The concerns and threats are many, and seem to be unending and without remedy. Nothing new!

In Preparation for the Journey Into Tomorrow! About 3,300 years ago both Moses and Joshua faced their personal journey into a threatening future. But God offered to equip them in preparation for their stormy entry into the shadowed unknown with a strong promise: “Be strong and of good courage! Do not be afraid or dismayed, for I am the Lord your God, with you wherever you go. I will not fail you nor forsake you!” This dependable promise from our Lord as recorded in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Joshua 1:9 is worthy to be boldly claimed and leaned upon as we too face our unchartered tomorrows and enter into their unknown and dark wilderness! Good preparation using “good equipment!” Free for the asking! The Rev. Dr. George Klett First Presbyterian Church, Caldwell located at 600 Buck Street Offering traditional Bible-based worship services at 10:00 every Sunday morning. All are welcomed, so feel free to “come as you are!”
