“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make

his face shine on you and be gracious to you;

the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

Numbers 6:24-26

When disasters strike—earthquakes, tornadoes, pandemics—or when we experience the loss of a loved one, some people believe God is behind it. They think He causes suffering to punish people. But this is one of the biggest lies Satan wants people to believe. Jesus warned us about Satan’s true nature when He said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). Satan wants to shift the blame onto God, but God’s heart is the complete opposite of destruction.
