Over 700 natural disasters, is the average per year, throughout the world! There are logical answers for these disasters, such as the intrinsic cooling of the ocean floors, and, other such! One reason for increased loss of human lives, and, cost of recuperation from natural disasters is that, the areas most likely to be hit, are now extremely populated, whereas in the past, they were not! People build houses on ground they KNOW is land-slide prone, they build entire countries, states, and, cities on fault lines, and, so forth! Does *GOD* have a hand in natural disasters? Well, that can be answered in a number of ways; the most positive one being, HE spares a LOT of lives in the midst of them! And yes, from early civilizations onward, HE HAS used natural disasters to drive HIS point home, however, no, I do not believe HE is responsible for most of nature's disturbances, because, they are reacting to normal conditions, in order to sustain, and, balance!!!
Most stormy weather is designed to cool off the Earth, from the air, all the way to the depths of the ocean's floors! ALL things in *GOD'S* CREATION HAVE SOUND purpose, and, work accordingly, synonymous with all else!!!
Earthquakes, and, tsunami's release internal pressures, as do volcanoes! So, ALL acts of nature work to balance life, in diverse ways! Again, these acts become disastrous to humanity, because we have decided to populate potentially dangerous areas, in which case, from some of the most recent ones, I will have to say *GOD* was busy sparing lives, land, and, conditions...
The wrath of *GOD* is imminent, at ALL times, therefore, it is not wrong to consider that which, cultivates HIS anger! These times are definite times in need of deep thought of HIM, and, HIS WILL, of prayers, of improvement, and, of making choices, hopefully, aligned TO HIM, FOR HIS GLORY! We cannot defy HIM, and, we cannot defy nature, so, it is Wise to learn from both!!!
In ancient times until now, people have assumed that bad things that happen are the works of *GOD*, or, their gods, which, is understandable, and, perhaps there is DIVINE reason behind this! Still, many people create a negative image of our MOST LOVING, GENEROUS, and, PROVISIONAL *GOD*, in the midst of crisis! When bad things happen, more often that not, besides natural phenomenon, humanity has a hand in it, in their carelessness, and, egocentricity, as well as lack of caring for the world as we ought! Remember, and, recall, HE HAS placed a bow (rainbow) to check HIS anger, and, remind HIMSELF of HIS LOVE for us!!!
Anyway, more cost for areas that have been, repeatedly, pounded! Personally, I think New Orleans should be permanently evacuated/relocated, then, put up a high, fortified sea wall! Haiti should be considered in this line too, because they are so ravaged, and, so impoverished! When things happen repeatedly, isn't it time to consider what MIGHT be done to prevent the costs incurred, and, the loss of human lives???
All in all, *GOD* IS in the midst, working HIS SUPERNATURAL powers! Thus, HE is to be PRAISED, REVERED, EXALTED, and, WORSHIPPED! HE HAS in HIS MIGHT, the power to sustain, or, to end, and, it is evident, HE chooses, at this time, to sustain! BLESS HIM, and, THANK HIM!!!
