God Commands the Weather

Commentators unanimously highlight that weather phenomena like snow and rain are not random but are direct results of God's specific command. Elihu's point is that God actively 'says to the snow, Fall on the earth.' This encourages believers to see God's personal direction in everyday weather, not just in dramatic storms.
