God's Voice in the Storm

Commentators explain that thunder is consistently described in Scripture as the very voice of God. While we can understand the natural science behind a storm, scholars like Calvin urge believers to look beyond the secondary causes. Faith sees God as the supreme Governor who wields these powerful forces to declare His majesty and intervene in the world.
