What other scriptures highlight God's control over nature and nations? God commands the winds – Jeremiah 49:36 “I will bring the four winds against Elam from the four quarters of heaven…” Jeremiah’s prophecy pictures God summoning every air current on the compass to scatter a nation. One command, and atmospheric forces shift—proof that creation is never random but always under His hand. Nature obeys His voice • Psalm 147:18 – “He sends forth His word and melts them; He makes His wind blow and the waters flow.” • Job 38:11 – “you may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop.” • Matthew 8:26 – “Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.” • Amos 4:13 – “He forms the mountains, creates the wind; the LORD God of Hosts is His name.” Together these snapshots span ice, sea, storm, and mountain. God speaks, elements respond. Jesus’ calming of Galilee matches Job’s boundaries for the ocean and the psalmist’s melting of ice—Old and New Testaments echo the same authority. He brings down princes and sets up kings • Isaiah 40:23 – “He brings the princes to nothing and makes the rulers of the earth meaningless.” • Daniel 2:21 – “He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes others.” • Proverbs 21:1 – “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD; He directs it wherever He pleases.” Thrones wobble as easily as waves when God decides. The most strategic halls of power are as steerable as a river in His palm. He draws the map of history • Acts 17:26 – “He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation.” Borders, eras, and migrations are not accidents of politics; they unfold on a schedule God drafted before any empire existed. Resting hearts in a restless world • Psalm 46:10 – “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations.” Because the Lord governs storms and sovereigns alike, stillness becomes a realistic response. The winds will blow, rulers will rise and fall, but His exaltation is the settled forecast. |
