The weather is part of our lives, no matter where we live or when we were born. Every day we must factor the weather into our thinking—whether we like it or not.
Ultimately, weather is not just a topic of daily consideration, nor is it a random circumstance that people, animals, and plants passively endure. Rather, weather is an active intervention that the sovereign God providentially orchestrates and that we constantly . . . weather.
The climate and weather, the Bible teaches, are ultimately under God’s full control. In that sense, God is central to the weather we experience every day. Not one person who has ever lived on earth has been able to escape the presence of the Almighty as God has displayed Himself to us through the weather.
