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.
Earthquakes, I believe, are a stark reminder of that brokenness, a wake-up call. They point to a future where Christ will restore order and make all things new. They urge us to turn away from the paths that lead us further from God and embrace a genuine humility of heart.
God desires us to be set apart, to live lives free from the perversion and immorality that so easily entangles us. He offers a way out, a path to healing and wholeness. The choice, friend, is ours. We can continue down a road that ultimately leads to eternal separation from Him, a place of unimaginable sorrow. Or, we can choose to turn back, to repent, and to walk in His light.
