God's Command Over Nature
Multiple commentators, especially John Calvin, emphasize that this verse reveals God's absolute and immediate sovereignty over the natural world. His 'commandment' or 'word' is the secret influence by which He governs all things. Sudden changes in weather, like frost or snow, are not random but are the swift execution of His will. This perspective encourages believers to see God's active hand in nature, moving beyond a purely scientific explanation to recognize the divine will that directs it.
