Psalm 135:6-7.
Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
This psalm opens with the demand that all God’s creatures should praise Him, all the time! It tells us to sing praises to Him. It says that He is great above all gods, which are made by man and have no breath, no sight, no hearing.
These two verses spoke to me in this time when mankind is so arrogant that we think we can control the weather. Blocking the sun by spraying chemicals into the air, for instance, seems to be a really arrogant effort to manipulate God’s creation.
I have seen rainstorms like that pictured above. We are powerless in the face of the power of Almighty God, Who does “whatsoever He pleases in the heavens, the earth, the seas, and all deep places.”
We are helpless before the power of Almighty God! We think we can control weather, and disasters including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. The best we can do is to take protective measures whenever possible when these events take place. We can even predict some of it, but we cannot stop that which God has ordained.
Sometimes we forget how small we are, and how little we know.
