We are in prayer for those in Taiwan involved in the latest natural disaster, a devastating earthquake that has claimed more than 2,000 lives. It causes many to stop and wonder how such tragedy can happen, why a God of love would allow so many innocent people to die so suddenly in such a way. The answer to these difficult questions lie in the same cause for those earthquakes that you may be dealing with in your life today....sin.
The Bible teaches clearly that when sin was introduced into the human
condition, man's surroundings, nature became corrupted as well. It is this
corruption of nature that is the cause of the natural disasters we witness
such as tornadoes, typhoons, earthquakes, and hurricanes to name a few. And
just as sin is the root cause of these natural disasters, sin is also the
root cause of those problems we face each day in our own life experiences.
Sometimes it is the sin of others, often it is our own sin that cause those
situations that threaten to destroy our very lives.
I am grateful today and want to encourage you, that the God who can control
nature is the same God that can control the circumstances that you are
dealing with today. Have hope this day that there are answers to those
problems you are dealing with today. When the destructive force of sin is
seen and felt in our lives, it is only God that can make things right again.
Just as the earthquake in Taiwan has destroyed so much, God can step in and
bring much good out of so much tragedy. He can and will do the same in your
life today.
I know the earth may be moving under your feet today, and things may look
very bleak. But that is the time, the very time, when you must cry out to
the Lord. Let Him hold you, comfort you, and stand with you. You don't have
to be alone. He loves you deeply, sees the challenges you are facing, and
has promised to bring you through if you will just put your trust and faith
in Him. HE IS ABLE AND CANNOT FAIL!
May God's richest blessings be with you this day as He carries us through
those disasters in our life onto victory.
