I am responsible for too many people, not to prepare for a nuclear war. We got ready for it when we got ready for the possibilities of y2k. Yes, even the potassium iodate for radiation.(posted 9625 days ago)There is a saying that was once popular in the insurance business. It goes "All you can do, is all you can do. And that's enough."
If I and my family were not to survive, we will go with grace and we trust in our Lord. (Your family is the only earthy treasure that you can take with you to Heaven.) But, if we have been called to prepare, I want to have been obedient. During the scramble to get all our preps in place last year, I often wondered what it would be, that we were actually preparing for.
There is a wonderful scripture that I put on the refr. "By faith, Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear, built an ark to save his family." Hebrews 11:7
For me, it is not a matter of whether we would want to be here after a nuclear war. It is a matter of discerning what God wants for us and what he expects out of us. I feel that I was called to get my family ready for the worst possible scenario. When y2k came and (seems to) have passed without the worst, - I only started rotating my preps with new purchases, - not dipping in.
I'm planting that garden and those flowers just like life will go right on. I've done all I can do - left no stone unturned - even to the fanatical extent of the ability to bring in a tiny ark's worth of livestock to start again, if need be.
I have no intention of clinging to this world, no matter what. But I will be ready, if I was meant to see to my family's survival. God always has a plan. We don't get to see ahead to our part in that plan
God has this whole thing under control. Our part is easy. Just stay prepared and available.
