In times of natural disaster, listen for God's voice
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Having lived most of my life in the Los Angeles area, I’ve had my share of experiences with earthquakes. While I don’t relish the thought of another, they no longer terrify me and I’ve learned pretty important lessons along the way.
Two lessons stand out the most—that earthquakes aren’t acts of God, and that learning to listen for God’s voice is the greatest form of preparedness. Behind both of these lessons is the power of God that protects and guides us to safety even if disaster strikes.
The Bible tells the story of Elijah who, while standing on a mountain, confronted first a hurricane, then an earthquake, then a fire. Elijah must have realized that since these weren’t acts of God, they held no power over his life.
