What Does Job 37:6 Mean?
Elihu turns from thunder to the falling of snow and rain. God speaks a word to the snow, and it covers the ground; He speaks to the gentle shower and to the mighty downpour, and they come. Each form of falling water obeys the bare command of its Maker, who needs only to say the word.
The God who created all things still governs the smallest detail of weather by His speech. The snowflake and the storm alike are servants that answer when He calls. For the reader this is a quiet wonder: the One whose word brought light at the beginning is the same word that orders today's sky. Nothing is too small for His attention, nothing too large for His command. The whole earth runs at the sound of His voice.
