What is the Meaning? SHTF

Hello Readers,  I have been thinking of these 'letters' lately as I have read some other blogs and the you tubers of this past year that I viewed   SHTF.  Simple minded that I am I had to actually, ")  google them to find out their meaning.  Well, first off, I prefer to refer to the S as 'something'     'seriousness'    'sobering' 'stuff'   or whatever word of a seriousness nature beginning with S.  Second,  most of what I have read of others referring to these letters, they are implicating the economy failing,  the infrastructure of our government failing, the world in total chaos, (more than it is at present),  the grid shutting down for the count.  And all of these are serious, very, but I am more thinking that daily life can be pointed to these 'letters' for many people. The question people are asking after they show these letters, is,  'what will you do?'  Again, for most people, and I include ourselves, it is a matter of asking this question when something in the daily life gets a real wake up, what will we do? 

Being prepared is wisdom, but sometimes you cannot when you cannot foresee what lies ahead.  God does, and we must trust and rely on Him. Our example is of the recent health issue with our daughter AddieMae.  Up until then, her care and health have been very steady. Now, we are in a new phase, of which we never foresaw coming or even thought of her health going in such a direction. But it did, we were not totally prepared, but God has made a way. Faith tested and being tested, but God is faithful and true. 

These letters SHTF do not only pertain to coming disaster, but pertain to life in all ways.  Be prepared as you can on matters that you can. Wisdom is the principal thing, and scripture does tell us a prudent man sees danger coming and prepares, but the simple keep going on.  Be discerning, commit all to God in all your ways of what your life is and He will sustain you.

In Joy
