Author of the weather

It is cold and rainy outside which could be a tempter for feeling dreary. This day was meant for cold rain, so we will rejoice in the truth that Christ reigns with omnipotent supremacy in all things, even the weather. Yes, He is beautiful when there is warm sunshine and when there is cold rain. His love is constant today as every other day, and His plans are sovereign today as every other day. We are thankful for what His hand governs and rejoice in His name!


"For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,'
And to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong.'
"He seals the hand of every man,
That all men may know His work.
"Then the beast goes into its lair
And remains in its den.
"Out of the south comes the storm,
And out of the north the cold.
"From the breath of God ice is made,
And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
"Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud;
He disperses the cloud of His lightning.
"It changes direction, turning around by His guidance,
That it may do whatever He commands it
On the face of the inhabited earth.
"Whether for correction, or for His world,
Or for lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.
"Listen to this, O Job,
Stand and consider the wonders of God.
"Do you know how God establishes them,
And makes the lightning of His cloud to shine?
"Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds,
The wonders of one perfect in knowledge,
You whose garments are hot,
When the land is still because of the south wind?

Job 37:6-17
