God's Active Providence
Commentators like John Calvin stress that this verse reveals God's active, moment-by-moment providence. Weather is not a blind, self-running system. Instead, God personally 'causeth the vapors to ascend' and 'bringeth forth the wind.' Every drop of rain and flash of lightning occurs by His specific, divine commission, demonstrating His intimate and ongoing rule over the world.
