Job 37:5-6 (ESV Strong's)
God thunders wondrously with his voice;
he does great things that we cannot comprehend.
For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.
Subject: Power of God
Elihu will end his speech to Job with this chapter. He wants Job to know, or remember, the amazing power of God. To demonstrate this truth he writes and records similar topics, like above. Elihu sees the power of God in the storms he sees on the earth. God makes the snow and rain and thunder and lighting. These are all demonstrations of His great power. He will later add the following about the storms God sends to the earth:
Job 37:13 (ESV Strong's)
Whether for correction or for his land
or for love, he causes it to happen.
God uses the storms to correct, to feed the land, or out of love. He causes it all to happen. As this devotional is being written I am in Chicago waiting for a flight for home. However, the reason for this flight is that my flight last night was canceled due to weather conditions. God sent a big storm across the plain states and into Chicago. That storm canceled or delayed flights. It caused me to be have an unexpected layover. God sends the storms. He directs our paths through them and by them. We are to rejoice and recognize His great power in them. That is the truth Elihu wants Job to learn. God wants us to learn it, as well.
