“Where Is God in a Storm?”

When Trouble Hits

Three tornadoes were among the severe storms that struck east Tennessee on Sunday night. Hail and wind toppled trees and damaged homes and property. Thankfully, no one was killed or hurt.

I refuse to call bad storms “God’s will.” Harmful weather is an act of nature, not an act of God.

Imagine a toddler standing atop a flight of stairs. Would God push that child down the stairs? Then why would God intentionally knock us (or our house) down with a tornado?

If you had to sleep elsewhere because your roof was gone, would you want other people to wonder what you did wrong for God to punish you like that?
