Weather manipulation?
Elihu concludes his words to Job, emphasizing the power and sovereignty of the Lord:
"God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. For He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth'; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength. He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work." Job 37:5-7
One truth stands clear: God is in control. Humanity's greatest struggle is our desire to seize that control. God defines marriage, yet people try to redefine it. God creates gender, yet people seek to reshape it. God commands the weather-does humanity attempt to manipulate that too? Perhaps. At the heart of these efforts is a desire to control what God has ordained. Satan fell due to pride, and the same temptation lurks in our hearts.
Have you considered the pride that might reside in your own heart? The urge to control, to do things your way?
Father, reveal any pride in our hearts. Help us release our need for control and surrender every area of our lives to Your leadership. Show us where we need to submit afresh to You. Amen.
To Know Jesus. To Live on Mission.
