"During times of adversity, God serves as our refuge and pillar of strength, consistently providing assistance in times of distress."

The Psalmist underscores the concept that human agency is bounded by temporal and spatial limitations. Our actions are circumscribed by the confines of time, rendering us subject to the finite aspects of our existence. This restriction engenders internal conflict as we endeavor to maximize our time in pursuit of validation and inclusion. The perpetual flow of time from past to future hinders our ability to fully engage with the present moment, as we are perpetually fixated on what might have been. Nonetheless, it is crucial to bear in mind that the ultimate authority over our world rests with a sovereign power, namely God.

In times of natural disasters and conflicts, we are confronted with the realization of our limited agency and the pervasive disorder in the world. Initially bestowed with dominion over the earth by a divine mandate, humanity's transgression led to a rupture in our relationship with the natural world, turning it into a hostile force. The pristine harmony of the garden was disrupted by the introduction of violence and chaos through the curse. However, through the redemptive work of Christ, there exists the possibility of reclaiming authority over creation. The question remains: can we restore our control over the earth, now burdened by the curse?

The solution can be discovered within the messages that have been conveyed to us. Since our inception, we have been taught that God has created us in His own likeness. How did God confront the challenge presented by the formidable forces opposing His divine plan? He bestowed upon us both natural and special revelations, foreseeing the obstacles we would face. This is exemplified through the pronouncement of curses and decrees, showcasing God's supremacy over the natural world. These occurrences serve as a means for God to reveal Himself, indicating that there are elements beyond our influence. Nevertheless, He also demonstrates His ultimate authority and equips us to overcome opposition through His decrees and curses. It is evident that for effective communication, God's actions must transcend mere words. He exhibits His sovereignty by intervening in the progression of time.

God creates tornadoes, hurricanes, ice storms, and wars as a way of communicating with us. Just as nature speaks to us through its beauty and power, these disasters are a form of divine communication. The events of these disasters are like God's words breaking into our world, reminding us of his ultimate power and authority. His curses and blessings are beyond our understanding, and when they intersect with these natural disasters, we are reminded of the eternal nature of God's will. The devastation caused by these events serves as a reminder of our own mortality and the need to humble ourselves before God. Despite the chaos and destruction, there is a sense of awe and wonder at the mystery of God's plan.
