Friends, Family, America is facing the possibility of great changes. Before we stress over what may become of our nation, of our state, of our town, of our church, of our families and of our selves, LET US PRAY.
Let us pray for our Christian brothers and Sisters in Darfur who are and have been starved and murdered. Also for the bretheren who are in Somalia, (and throughout Africa) living in contant fear of death by disease or war. Do not forget the churches in China that for centuries have met in secret, lest they be arrested or just shot in the streets. Have we not heard of the fate of "The Chosen" in Romania under Coucescou? Has that changed after his death? Then there is N. Korea and areas of Southeast Asia where pockets are controlled by drug lords. Where do I stop?
In part, this is a question of context. For those who have never known wealth, its loss will not have any effect. For comparison, if I see an injured bird, I don't miss flying myself, I don't fly (no matter how much Mountain Dew). However, since giving up driving, that for me has been a notable loss.
The Great American Meltdown may have as much fizzle as YKK.
At this time, the wise plan is to prepare for what reasonably can happen, such as the snow storm of '06 that shut down everything for nearly a week. As the Crown studies suggest "save ahead", a week or more of canned food, candles for light, easy relative cheap stuff. If you have one or can get one, set up a small generator, as electricity can go out (power lines go down).
This is not a mandate or a scramble. Don't sell your mother-in-law to get things. As the LORD allows, slow-w-w-w-ly plan ahead. GOD has NOT forgotten us, HE has a plan. Our dedicated Faith in Him will in the midst of trouble, will give the strength to endure, we may not escape, but we can endure.
