Well, yes - the whole book is great - it's one of my favourite OT books, but I was talking specifically about weather, the forces of nature and God's sovereign rulership over it. They must bow and yield to God's command.

If God says to the wind, "Peace, be still", it WILL be still! You can count on it. On the other hand if He speaks to the wind and says "BLOW!", it will blow.

Simple. :)

But is every shower and sprinkle of rain, every lightning bolt, every star falling or drought happening because God spoke specifically and commanded it to happen specifically? No.

Just saying that He CAN speak specifically and change things in the atmosphere - including weather patterns, if it suits His purpose one way or another.

You guys realize that such poetic usage is not always to be taken literally to mean God causes every storm?

Is the earth really built on a pillar?
Job 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

A giant nose?
Job 4:9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

God Breathes fire from his nose? HE rides on a cherub?

Psa 18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
Psa 18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Psa 18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
Psa 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

These are anthropomorphisms

Storm or calm, He's worthy of our praise!!!!!!!

I have heard Bro. Billy Cole say that oft times when God is going to move mightily in a service a storm in the nature will first be felt. Rain, winds, etc.

I believe God is in total control.

I agree there is a set pattern for things to run in a nature realm, however, I also agree God in in total control and will and has interupted nature to do His bidding.

I believe the flood was His doing, for His purpose.

I don't know how He destroy Sodom and Gorrmah with firey hail, but He did.

I believe there are major hurricanes of His doing, His direction.

I just simply believe God in still in controll of all of nature.

He tells us in His Word there will be many earthquakes in the end time and there are.

I don't think anyone is saying God isn't still in control of all things, in the sense that He retains the privilege and authority to change things as He wills, just because they are also saying God does not necessarily cause all storms or calamities to occur.

I think that's what we're all saying bro. ;) :)

Well Im glad you all finally came to your senses and agreed with me :killinme

And her I was thinking it was you guys agreeing with me!

Didn't George Bush and the Republicans make Katrina and all those Gulf Coast hurricanes? *cough*
