How does God's control over nature in Exodus 10:19 strengthen your faith today? God’s mastery displayed in the wind Exodus 10:19 — “And the LORD turned a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained in all the borders of Egypt.” Why this single sentence matters • The plague ends exactly when God chooses. • The same wind that once brought judgment (10:13) now brings relief. • Nothing in creation resists His command—locusts, wind, or sea. Faith builder #1 He governs every element • Psalm 135:6-7 — “He causes the clouds to rise… He brings the wind from His storehouses.” • Knowing the Lord directs even invisible air currents anchors assurance that no event in my day lies outside His reach. Faith builder #2 He reverses the irreversible • Egypt’s fields were stripped bare (10:15). Yet in a moment the devourer is removed “not a single locust remained.” • Joel 2:25 promises, “I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten.” The Exodus wind previews that restoration in miniature. Faith builder #3 He delivers right on time • The ninth plague (darkness) and the Passover are still ahead. God clears the sky so His redemption story keeps moving. • Galatians 4:4 — “When the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son.” Timeliness then guarantees timeliness now. Faith builder #4 Nature serves His people • The locusts torment Pharaoh, not Israel. • Joshua 10:11 shows hailstones defending Israel; Mark 4:39 shows waves calming for the disciples. Creation bends to bless those who trust Him. Faith builder #5 Christ embodies the same authority • Mark 4:39 — “He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind died down.” • The God who sent the west wind stands in my boat today. His presence turns panic into peace. Living it out today • When headlines warn of disasters, recall the west wind—history’s true Director has not changed. • When circumstances feel devouring, expect His reversal; He still says “no locust remained.” • Speak Scripture aloud in storms (physical or personal) to align heart and mind with the One who commands them. • Thank Him for ordinary breezes, rains, and seasons; each is a daily witness that “by Him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17). |
