What Does Job 36:32 Mean?
Elihu describes how God fills His hands with the lightning, covering it within the clouds and commanding where it shall fall. Even the flash of the storm moves at His bidding, hidden and released according to His will.
The picture is of total command over the most uncontrollable of forces. What no one can tame, God holds and directs with ease. Such sovereignty over the storm assures the trembling heart that nothing is random, and that the same hand guides all things toward the purposes revealed in Christ.
