"If you behave casually with me." Leviticus 26:21
Whenever people say that the punishment, which befalls them, is only a natural occurrence, a coincidence,
Yahveh has to resort to stronger methods in order to show them that He is the cause of everything. Just like a father first
chastises his son with a slight tap, and if there is no response he has to resort to stronger methods, so too Yahveh, our
Father, "talks to us" and wants us to get the message before it becomes harsher. Whenever we hear of tragedies or other calamities,
we must realize it is not natural, it is a message. Each one must take the message to heart and apply it based on his or her
own way of life, to try to improve and find favor in the eyes of Yahveh. Let's keep our eyes open!
