Sabbath services for the Continuing Church of God in Haiti were canceled last week because of early storm issues.<\/p>\n<p>As regular readers of this Church of God news page are aware, hurricanes are consistent with the following scriptures about rain and wind:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>26 \u201cBehold, God is great, and we do not know Him; Nor can the number of His years be discovered. 27 <strong>For He draws up drops of water, Which distill as rain from the mist, 28 Which the clouds drop down And pour abundantly on man. 29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds, The thunder from His canopy? 30 Look, He scatters His light upon it, And covers the depths of the sea. 31 For by these He judges the peoples<\/strong>; He gives food in abundance. 32 He covers His hands with lightning, And commands it to strike. 33 His thunder declares it, The cattle also, concerning the rising storm. (Job 36:26-33)<\/p>\n<p>25 For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea. 26 They mount up to the heavens, They go down again to the depths; Their soul melts because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits\u2019 end. 28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses. 29 He calms the storm, So that its waves are still. 30 Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. 31 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! 32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the company of the elders. 33 He turns rivers into a wilderness, And the watersprings into dry ground; 34 A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it. 35 <strong>He turns a wilderness into pools of water, And dry land into watersprings<\/strong>. 36 There He makes the hungry dwell, That they may establish a city for a dwelling place, 37 And sow fields and plant vineyards, That they may yield a fruitful harvest. 38 He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease. (Psalms 107:25-38)<\/p>\n<p>17 He casts out His hail like morsels;<br \/>\nWho can stand before His cold?<br \/>\n18 He sends out His word and melts them;<br \/>\n<strong>He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow<\/strong>. (Psalms 147:17-18)<\/p>\n<p>3 He sends it forth under the whole heaven, His lightning to the ends of the earth. 4 After it a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard. 5 God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. 6 For He says to the snow, \u2018Fall on the earth\u2019; Likewise to the gentle rain and <strong>the heavy rain of His strength<\/strong>. 7 He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work. 8 The beasts go into dens, And remain in their lairs. 9 From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind, And cold from the scattering winds of the north. 10 By the breath of God ice is given, And the broad waters are frozen. 11 Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds; He scatters His bright clouds. 12 And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance, That they may do whatever He commands them On the face of the whole earth. 13 He causes it to come, Whether for correction, Or for His land, Or for mercy. (Job 37:3-13)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>God controls the weather. Jesus&#8217; disciples got to see this first hand:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, &#8220;Lord, save us! We are perishing!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>26 But He said to them, &#8220;Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?&#8221; Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 So the men marveled, saying, &#8220;Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?&#8221; (Matthew 8:23-27)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Presumably, the disciples learned something from that experience.<\/p>\n<p>Wet weather is sometimes used by God for judgment and correction.
