The Prudent And The Naive

Proverbs 27:12

A prudent man sees evil and hides himself, the naive proceed and pay the penalty. --

All the preppers and contrarians "see" so much "evil" around us and recommend that we "hide" ourselves by taking care of our families "off the grid," or invest our money in ways that do not conform to the majority of investors. 

Some people see demons everywhere, and others contend that everything's okay and what's problematic will take care of itself.

I want to find that middle ground, that sees clearly what evil will harm, and act accordingly, not going overboard either left or right. I am looking to discern what is truth in all the chatter out there.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
