48 Bible verses about Earthquakes and Earthquakes
Imagine a perfect world, everything "very good," just as God intended. Then, because of choices made, that perfection was fractured. Genesis 3:17 tells us the ground was cursed because of disobedience. We see the effects of this every day, from the struggles we face to the natural disasters that shake our world.
