What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in storms?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible affirms that God has complete sovereignty over storms and whirlwinds, revealing His power and purpose through them.

The Scriptures demonstrate that the Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, as stated in Nahum 1:3. God's sovereignty is a theme deeply embedded in the biblical narrative; He controls all natural events, including storms, for His glory and for the eternal good of His elect. This understanding counters any notion of fatalism, for it rests on faith in God’s righteous and purposeful governance of creation. In Job 38, God speaks from the whirlwind, reminding us of our limited understanding and His omnipotent control over all creation. Such events serve not only as warnings of His judgment but also as affirmations of His grace towards those He has chosen.
