When we complain about the weather, we should remember that God is in control. God gave us a great Word of assurance in Psalm 148:8: “Fire and hail, snow and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling His word.”

All of Psalm 148 tells us that the Word of God is in control. When He speaks in heaven, things happen on earth. In verses 1-6 the heavens praise the Lord. In verse 7-10 the earth praise the Lord. And in verses 11-14 all people, young and old, praise the Lord, including kings, princes, judges and ordinary people. Why? Because His work is creative. Verse 5 tells us He commanded, and they were created. He also has “established them forever” (v.6).

God does not run the world by consensus but by decree. His Word is sufficient to guide our lives.

God’s Word creates, establishes and fulfills His will. The next time you find yourself in a storm, don’t complain; instead, surrender. Remember, the stormy wind as well as the calm wind fulfills the Word of God. Submit to God’s control and to His creative Word in your life.
