Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
Insurance generally deals with calamities after they occur. That is the main difference, and it is a huge one, especially when insurance companies are not able to honor their financial obligations because of being financially strapped. With life insurance, benefits might be paid out, but someone may have to die first. With your home insurance too, benefits might be paid out, but your house will have to either burn down first, or some hurricane or tornado would have to destroy it and the valuables inside it, before your insurance will kick in.
This is what is currently unfolding in California after the deadly wildfires devastated some communities. This is what is also taking place in certain parts of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas after hurricane Helene literally razed many properties and buildings to the ground. Insurance companies might step up to the plate, but you will have to suffer the destruction first, let alone the hassle of trying to rebuild, and the wrangling, or back and forth which often takes place between the insurer and the insured, as companies may become hesitant to pay out such enormous sums as a result.
With the Scriptural type of assurance, God, in some instances may prevent or turn away the hurricanes, the tornadoes, and the wild fires from doing their dirty work in the first place, so that you would not need insurance at the back end. Again, as we stated before, this is subject to God’s will in situations that He deems appropriate and/or necessary.
Psalms 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
