“For He saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of His strength” (Job 37:6).
I am actually writing this in the month of November, 2021, and we had our first bit of snow last night. It has nearly all melted now, but it reminded me of this verse. It is the Lord who controls the weather — snow, rain, sunshine, clouds — all of it. Job had to be reminded of all this, and the Lord used a man named Elihu to say all these things to him.
We are accustomed to snow where I live in Canada, but in some places they get rain, not snow. In some parts of Canada now, and also in other parts of the world, they are experiencing the “great rain of His strength.” Too much rain is almost as bad as too little, and causes big problems for farmers as well as others. But all of it is allowed of God, and we can learn from it.
The Lord often uses weather patterns to speak to man, and to remind him that God is in control. Man is no match for strong weather patterns; he must submit, and recognize God’s hand in them.
