What does natural disasters tell us? What are we learning from natural disasters?
There are several natural disasters. There is flood, there are earthquakes. There are fire outbreaks and so on and so forth. We are seeing these things happen all around us. We ourselves might have experienced it at one time or the other. Or maybe we have heard about them in the news. There are so many natural disasters in the world.
What are the things that these natural disasters are teaching us? What lessons are we to derive from them or what are they reminding us of? This is a serious reflection which we must consider. There are several pointers which natural disasters are pointing us to.
Disobedient to God’s Commandments
One of the major reason why the sons of men are passing through some terrible happening in the world is because mankind has decided to disobey the commandments of God. We are living in outright disobedience to God. It is God who created this world. When men refuse to obey the instructions of God, God will send disasters to them. This is what is happening in the world. We are doing everything against the will of God so, God punishes us through these natural disasters.
Wrong Environmental Practices
Most of the communities or countries experiencing natural disasters are in those problems because of the wrong environmental practices from the citizens. Many people suffer from floods because they refuse to maintain a good draining system. Some industrial and practices also lead to natural disasters. So, natural disasters could be caused by men themselves.
