God Commands Nature
Commentators explain that the most direct meaning in the context of Psalm 104 is that God uses the forces of nature as His servants. The wind acts as His messenger, and lightning ('flaming fire') acts as His minister, sent to accomplish His divine purposes. This highlights God's absolute majesty and sovereign power over all of creation.
