ACTS OF GOD - Pain and suffering can't always be predicted leaving us feeling helpless and confused - we know God could intervene in every earthly disaster, but for reasons we don't understand, He chooses not to do this. However, God did intervene in the worst and most terrible disaster in mankind's history, and His intervention cost Him dearly – the death of His precious Son - Whenever you doubt God's goodness, look to the cross. Accidents, disease, and natural disasters ... They seem so random and unnecessary. Why doesn't God stop them? These things weren't present in God's original creation (Genesis 1:31). However, when mankind sinned, death, decay, accidents, natural disasters and disease entered the picture (Genesis 3:17-19; Romans 8:18-25). The pain and suffering caused by these things can't always be predicted or cured, and that leaves us feeling helpless and confused. In Luke 13, Christ addressed the accidental collapse of a tower without explaining the reason. Instead, He cautioned His listeners to repent because life is so uncertain (James 4:13-14). We know God could intervene in every earthly disaster, but for reasons we don't understand, He chooses not to do this (1 Corinthians 13:12; Isaiah 55:8-11). However, God did intervene in the worst and most terrible disaster in mankind's history, and His intervention cost Him dearly (Romans 6:23).

Accidents, disease, and natural disasters ... 

They seem so random and unnecessary. 

Why doesn't God stop them? 

These things weren't present in God's original creation (Genesis 1:31). 

However, when mankind sinned, death, decay, accidents, natural disasters and disease entered the picture (Genesis 3:17-19; Romans 8:18-25). 

The pain and suffering caused by these things can't always be predicted or cured, and that leaves us feeling helpless and confused. 

In Luke 13, Christ addressed the accidental collapse of a tower without explaining the reason.

Instead, He cautioned His listeners to repent because life is so uncertain (James 4:13-14). 

We know God could intervene in every earthly disaster, but for reasons we don't understand, He chooses not to do this (1 Corinthians 13:12; Isaiah 55:8-11) . 

However, God did intervene in the worst and most terrible disaster in mankind's history, and His intervention cost Him dearly (Romans 6:23). 

Whenever you doubt God's goodness, look to the cross. 

Resource: Where is God in Natural Disasters? By Janet Chismar

Hi!  I'm Gail Burton Purath. I started Bible Love Notes to give people a minute of Scriptural encouragement in their busy day.

I don't have all the answers, but

since I asked Christ to be my Lord and Savior in 1974, I've been learning from the One Who has all the answers!
I'm still a sinner, a learner, a student who falls down and disappoints God at times. But it's my desire to grow closer to the Lord, day by day, minute by minute.

I need to be challenged, encouraged, corrected and comforted, and I think you do as well...so let's learn together about the love of God--a love that is so vast that we will always be discovering new and wonderful things about it.
