Job 38.22-23

“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,

or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,

which I have reserved for the time of trouble,

for the day of battle and war?

 These verses are near the beginning of God’s long rebuttal list in Job – His creative acts, deeds that are plain for all to see but for which Job has no clue as to how or why they were done. 

I am reminded of the massive power in the army’s latest weaponry.  And the huge amount of time and energy it took to produce them: research, design, testing, manufacturing, deployment strategies. The weapons are fearful. 

But, the One who created the universe out of nothing can create even more fearful weapons instantly, at his command.  Snow, hail, rivers, locusts, earthquakes, and tsunamis, not to mention solar flares, supernovas, and colliding galaxies.

All those weapons that man makes need to be stored somewhere.  God keeps his battle-hail in storehouses beyond our understanding.  Wow.
