Natural disasters are ever-increasing. A night doesn’t go by where we don’t hear on the news about an earthquake, tornado, volcanos erupting, mudslides, fires, etc.

The loss can be devastating and trying to understand why even more so.

However, the Bible provides answers.

 “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.  For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.  Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.” Romans 8:19-23 

Yes, we are all awaiting the glorious appearing of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We must endure, “But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” Mathew 24:13

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18
