God controls the weather

We have all been affected by the weather and the forces of nature, in different opportunities, in one way or another. Most of the time, time causes inconveniences; for example, a delayed flight, a canceled trip or something similar.

Often, people somewhere, is seriously affected by the weather and the most violent forces of nature. A prolonged drought will damage the farmer's crop or, a hail will destroy it in an hour. A tornado in Texas leaves hundreds of people homeless, and a typhoon in Bangladesh ruins thousands of hectares of crops.

When we are affected by the weather, either by a simple inconvenience or by a major disaster, we tend to consider it only as an impersonal expression of certain established laws, meteorological or geological. A low pressure system falls on my city, causing a terrible snowfall and closing the airport, the day I must travel to a ministerial commitment. Forces within the earth continuously bend its bark until it yields causing a great earthquake. Whether it is something insignificant or traumatic we tend to think of the expressions of nature as "something that happens", and we as the "unfortunate" victims of what it holds. In practice, even Christians tend to live and think like the deists I mentioned in a previous chapter, who conceived God as the Creator of the universe who later left it to be governed by its own natural laws.

But God did not leave the daily control of his creation, but established physical laws to govern the forces of nature, which operate continuously in accordance with his sovereign will. A Christian television meteorologist has determined that there are about 1,400 references to climatological terminology in the Bible, many of which attribute all weather phenomena directly to the hand of God. Most of these passages speak of God's control over all time, and not only of divine intervention on specific occasions. Recovered from the jungle, with the exception of its most important temple, the temple of Angkor Wat, which although originally dedicated the Hindu god Vishnu, never came to be abandoned, being maintained for centuries by Buddhist monks. Several countries have participated in the reconstruction work of the temples, being the main responsible archaeologists of the École Française d'Extreme Orient ('French School of the Far East'), whose work goes back to 1908.
