You know Beloved, when tragedies come into our life we want the Lord to spring into action immediately. And if He doesn’t we get bent out of shape. But let me tell you the Lord will never stay within the parameters we set for Him.
Since we’re mortal, earth-bound, and sinful, we have a very narrow perspective and understanding of life. But our eternal, sinless, sovereign, and omniscient Creator sees and knows what we cannot perceive.
So, let’s be sure that our viewpoint of God’s role in natural tragedies comes from the Bible, not from our own limited “boxed perspective.” Scripture tells us of the Lord’s love, faithfulness, and wisdom. Whenever we cannot understand His ways, our faith in His goodness must be our foundation.
Isaiah 55:8-9
