Wrath of God or natural consequence of stupidity?

Morning: Psalms 97, 99; Judges 13:1-15; Acts 5:27-42

Evening: Psalm 94; John 3:22-36

In John’s Gospel Jesus says that those who do not follow his Way experience not life but the ‘wrath of God’.  Doesn’t sound like the God I know? But if I disturb God’s created balance in the world and I and others get hurt, that may feel like someone’s wrath, even God’s?  Does God deliberately cause hurt?  I don’t think so. Maybe it’s more like this ... Imagine I knowingly pollute the earth for profit, and I make myself and others sick. Wrath of God? Nope ... pure and simple human stupidity. Grief of God, more like!
