Joseph stored grain in the good years so that many lived through the famine. Laying up water, food and skills is not fear — it is stewardship, and it lets a family help its neighbors when hard times come. Start with water, then the cellar and the crock, and keep the freezer full from your own land. “The prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.” — Proverbs 22:3
