As a California native, lifelong resident, and someone who lives relatively close to Los Angeles, it's a little hard to comprehend the “apocalyptic” and “warzone” scenes that are unfolding from the wildfires.
“Yeah, it’s ugly. It looks like a warzone, without a firefighter in sight. It’s crazy," my family members in LA tell me.
Unfortunately, tragedies are nothing new in this life. And when they happen the natural human reaction is to ask why.
I watched one news interview of a man whose house was the only one left standing in his entire neighborhood after the fire burned through. In tears, he wondered why God had spared his house and not his neighbors. That is the type of question none of us can answer in such a circumstance. But it’s also the type of lament God invites us to bring to Him. In tragedies like we see unfolding in Los Angeles, often all we can do is call on the God who sees us and cares for us.
