Preparedness
1 Thessalonians 5:2
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.


When war was declared between France and Prussia, Von Molkte was fully prepared. The news was brought to him late one night: he had already gone to bed. "Very well," he said to the messenger, "the third portfolio on the left," and went to sleep again until morning.

(H. D. Mackay.)
