Disaster
2 For what is our lot from God above,
our heritage from the Almighty on high?
3 Is it not ruin for the wicked,
disaster for those who do wrong?
4 Does he not see my ways
and count my every step? Job 31:2-4
How many of us think of bad things that happen to us as a disaster? A fire, a flood, a significant illness or even a significant family issue. Disaster is defined as a calamitous event. But are the things listed above truly a calamitous event? When you search the Bible for the word Disaster in the NIV version, Disaster only appears in the Old Testament. I began to wonder why it is only in the OT of the Bible, and I think it must have to do with the Good News that is in the New Testament. God wants us to focus on the Good in our lives and the Good that Jesus brings in our life. Nothing is a disaster if we have Jesus. Something to remember daily.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
