Acts of nature
God’s plan proceeds through physical as well as spiritual laws. Natural laws impart beauty and order to the world. They make life possible.
A world of law, however, is also a world in which natural disasters sometimes occur. Few things are more terrifying or destructive than the awesome power of nature. Natural disasters can result in injured bodies, crushed dreams, and death.
Yet from dust, rubble, and ash can come new understanding of life’s true treasures.
God provides comfort and blessings to those who turn to Him in times of need. Coping with calamities can strengthen us and call forth compassion. Such experiences can help us learn, grow, and serve one another.
Dealing with adversity is one of the chief ways in which we are tested and tutored.
