The Wonder of the Clouds

Elihu points to the 'balancings of the clouds'—how massive, water-filled clouds are mysteriously suspended in the air. Commentators explain this is a powerful, everyday example of God's wondrous works. It's a call to observe the natural world and recognize the incomprehensible power and wisdom of the Creator, who is 'perfect in knowledge.'
