What Does the Bible Say About Disasters?

How does God help victims of disaster?

 .  God comforts victims in his Word, the Bible.  The Bible assures us that God cares for us and he feels for us when we suffer. (Isaiah 63:9; 1 Peter 5:6, 7) It also reveals his promise of a time when natural disasters will not happen anymore. - See "Bible verses to comfort victims of natural disasters."

. God helps victims by means of his worshippers. God uses his worshippers on earth to imitate the example set by Jesus. It was prophesied that Jesus would comfort "the brokenhearted" and "all who mourn." (Isaiah 61:1, 2) Worshippers of God strive to do the same. - JOHN 13:15.

God also uses his worshippers to provide practical relief to victims of natural disasters. - ACTS 11:28-30; GALATIANS 6:10.
