Psalm 147:15-18 Part 2 of 2

He sends his orders to the world--

    how swiftly his word flies!

He sends the snow like white wool;

    he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.

He hurls the hail like stones.

    Who can stand against his freezing cold?

Then, at his command, it all melts.

    He sends his winds, and the ice thaws. 

 

Then, at his command, it all melts.

Psalm 33:8-9

    It appeared at his command.  (see all Psalm 33)

Hebrews 11:3  

    By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.  (see all Hebrews 11)

    The disciples were absolutely terrified. "Who is this man?" they asked each other. "Even the wind and waves obey him!"  (see Mark 4:35-41)

John 3:8  

"The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit."  (see all John 3)
