Storehouses of the Snow

 

Job 38:22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
    or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
23 which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
    for the day of battle and war?
24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
    or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
25 “Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
    and a way for the thunderbolt,
26 to bring rain on a land where no man is,
    on the desert in which there is no man,
27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
    and to make the ground sprout with grass?

It's around the time of year when meteorologists begin to predict how much snow a part of the country or world will receive this coming winter. As we know, it's not an exact science. There is only One Who truly knows. He is actually the once speaking in this passage, addressing Job and his friends. Just as his system of sending rains is amazing (as we saw yesterday), so is the way he stores up and sends His treasures in troubled times.
