The breath of God freezes the waters, and turns them to solid ice.

as they move at God's will. They do all that God commands, everywhere throughout the world.

And now the light in the sky is dazzling, too bright for us to look at it; and the sky has been swept clean by the wind.

God's power is so great that we cannot come near him; he is righteous and just in his dealings with us.

He commanded, and a mighty wind began to blow and stirred up the waves.

He calmed the raging storm, and the waves became quiet.

If you wait until the wind and the weather are just right, you will never plant anything and never harvest anything.

God made everything, and you can no more understand what he does than you understand how new life begins in the womb of a pregnant woman.

God said to me, "Mortal man, prophesy to the wind. Tell the wind that the Sovereign LORD commands it to come from every direction, to breathe into these dead bodies, and to bring them back to life."

Jesus went on to say, "The Kingdom of God is like this. A man scatters seed in his field.

The soil itself makes the plants grow and bear fruit; first the tender stalk appears, then the head, and finally the head full of grain.

"A healthy tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a poor tree bear good fruit.

It is only our own spirit within us that knows all about us; in the same way, only God's Spirit knows all about God.
