STOP and consider God’s wonders ! Job 37:14
A collection of verses out of the book of Job
Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge? 37:15-16
He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. He bestows rain on the earth; he sends water upon the countryside. 5:9-10
God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him? … Remember to extol His work, … How great is God – beyond our understanding! 36:22-26
He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind. Who can understand how He spreads out the clouds, how He thunders from His pavilion? 36:27-29
This is the way He governs the nations and provides food in abundance. 36:31
God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; He does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, “fall on the earth”, and to the rain shower, “be a mighty downpour”. He loads the clouds with moisture; … to water His Earth and show His love. 37:5-6
The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in His justice and great righteousness, He does not oppress. 37:23
Here in West Africa a well keeps a family and animals supplied with water. But if the crops are to grow and the family is to be fed from month to month …
From where?
Well, the sky.
The sky? Water will come out of the clear blue sky?
Well, not exactly. Water will have to be carried in the sky from the ocean over several hundred miles, and then be poured out on the fields from the sky.
Carried? How much does it weigh? … Very heavy? How does it get up in the sky and stay up there if it’s so heavy?
By evaporation: Water stops being water for a while so it can go up and not down.
Then how does it get down?
Condensation happens: The evaporated water starts becoming liquid water again. But it’s not dumped, otherwise the crops would be crushed. It dribbles the billion pounds of water down in little drops. Without evaporating again because of coalescence.
