“If a calamity occurs in a city has not the LORD done it?” (Amos 3:6)

When calamity strikes, our natural (though not necessarily sound) reaction is: Where was God? Was He asleep at the wheel? Have we ever thought the more likely scenario that the great events that affect so many lives are God trying to speak to us – a world that has stopped paying attention? I don’t hope calamity on any city but when we do see disaster in the news think of it as God’s megaphone calling us to reaffirm His power and our complete dependence on Him.
