Fear
I often suggest that people prepare as best the can for the difficult times ahead but my hope is that it would be done out of an attitude of prudence and not of fear.
2 Timothy 1:7: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”
Faith
I don’t believe it is wise to simply ignore the world and what is happening with the attitude that God will always protect no matter the choices I make. If that were wise then why buy auto insurance or wear a seat belt. I also don’t believe it is good to have the attitude that you can be totally self sufficient and essentially don’t need God’s provision (which isn’t possible anyway). I think there is a line we have to walk in which we try our best to make wise decisions and have faith that God will take care of the rest.
Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
