I am asking for wisdom. I plan to go one more time back to some property I purchased in a rural area and hopefully it is going to be hooked up to electricity soon. I have 2 options; and it seems the first of spending most of the time there and only occasionally maintaining the house here may be the best option merely as a survival mindset. Scriptures do state such as this one A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. ( Proverbs 27:12 I think).
Unfortunately my city would likely be a target should a major conflagration come. It seems that will be a matter of weeks away the way things are going. The other option is staying here and risking the all too likely scenario that society will shut down completely based on what is coming (and that could come from several things) and it will be too late to go anywhere if one should survive the worst case scenario.
I have a couple things to do the next couple days; and after that some time that I could get away. I feel the Lord would have to show me something specific or things would have to sufficiently change to feel safe here; but again of course it is hard to deal with everything we read and see.
I am trying to get some help with a couple of chronic health issues; I won't get into all the details at present. There are certain times that seem more critical than others; again though I'm sure the enemy would have destroyed everything by now if the Lord weren't restraining things.
I am worn down as many of us are. One of the hardest things to deal with is the apathy that I've seen in my church; no one seems particularly burdened with what is to come. Obsessing admittedly is something I don't want to do but it is hard to pray when no one is in agreement. There is media spin on all these wars and such; I believe prayer can still be effective but no one seems convicted; that's how I've seen it.
