Psalm 135:6–7: Whatever the Lord pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
It is God who makes the weather. The weatherman does not make the weather, and the proof is that he does not always give us the correct report. He is not in touch with headquarters. He is in touch with a lot of scientific gadgets, and every now and then he comes up with an educated guess; but God makes the weather. He is the Creator. Not only does He make the weather, but He runs the universe as it pleases Him. Maybe you don’t like it; if you don’t, why don’t you move out? Why don’t you go to another universe or start one of your own and run it your way? God does not have to answer our questions. He asks us to trust Him and live a life of faith. 1
Living the Transformed Life
But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. Psalm 115:3
- Will you stand in awe, and praise His creative majesty: He who forms mountains, and creates the wind — The Lord God of hosts is His name. Amos 4:13
- Will you stand in awe, and praise His masterful Lordship: Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water, or a path for the thunderbolt. Job 38:25
- Will you stand in awe, and praise His sovereign control over the future: Have you entered the treasury of snow, or have you seen the treasury of hail, which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war? Job 38:22–23
Once you realize you’re not in control, but that He is, then life will make sense.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for always being in charge. There is nothing random with You. Dear Jesus, teach me to seek Your Word, and to believe Your truth about life and living.
