Are Calamities, Catastrophes, and Disasters Really God’s Judgment?


Summary:
Many people attribute unforeseen misfortunes to divine punishment. But is this perspective accurate? Does God truly follow us, punishing every wrongdoing with relentless precision?

Article Body:

After 35 years of studying the Bible, I’m convinced that God isn’t petty. He doesn’t scrutinize our slightest mistakes minute by minute. Believing otherwise borders on the absurd. However, history and scripture suggest that God does judge individuals, groups, nations, and even the world for crossing certain moral lines. While He is remarkably patient, He is not naïve.

Consider this: If humans discipline their children, why wouldn’t God discipline us? Are we somehow above Him? We can turn to the Bible for a perspective on this.

In Deuteronomy 28:1-14, numerous blessings are promised to those who faithfully follow God’s commandments. Conversely, the following verses emphasize the consequences, including various calamities, for ignoring His commands. These serve as grave warnings.

Theologians understand that judgment for sin is inevitable. However, identifying which specific disasters are acts of divine judgment is much more challenging.

As a survivor of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, I’ve often asked myself whether these were acts of God’s judgment. Notably, many affected areas were recreational hotspots, such as Florida’s beaches, Gulf Coast casinos, New Orleans’ French Quarter, and Cancun’s resorts. Could their purposes contribute to their fate? It’s hard to say definitively, but it’s worth considering.

After the tsunami struck Indonesia and other Asian regions, I questioned its divine implications. The revelation that these areas are central to a $12 billion black market for child trafficking was eye-opening. This fact, coupled with the scripture from Matthew 18:6, where wrongdoing against children is strongly condemned, makes it hard not to wonder about divine intervention.

God is not a permissive figure who overlooks our moral failings while showering us with blessings. It might be presumptuous to label every disaster as God’s judgment. However, it is equally presumptuous to assume He remains indifferent while we indulge in debauchery.
