A little boy asked his father, "Dad, why does snow fall from the sky?" The father smiled, trying to explain simple science, but the boy then asked again, "But why doesn't God put snow in the desert? Who puts it there?" The father smiled, trying to explain with simple science, but the boy then asked again, "But why doesn't God just put snow in the desert?" His father was silent. He realized that not all his questions could be answered perfectly. Such was the reflection of Job's soul, which was turbulent, curious and questioning. However, in chapter 38, God answers, not with a defense, but with a question that gives instruction.

In poetic and metaphorical language, God describes natural phenomena such as snow and rain as heavenly commodities, as if He stored them in a giant warehouse in the sky. Snow and rain can be a blessing to the earth but also an instrument of divine judgment. Even the rain that falls on the barren land (verse 26–27) shows that God's grace is not limited to human-inhabited areas. Nature is subject to divine design and timing. Even storms run on a set course. Nothing is random. This is an answer in the form of upbringing, God educates by awakening. Then He continued to teach Job through the description of the birth process, “Does the rain have a father? Or who gives birth to dewdrops?" Beautifully, the metaphor of birth reveals the mystery of seemingly ordinary things. Rain is not just vapor that condenses, but part of God's grace and mystery that humans do not have. The ice that covers the surface of the ocean ( תְהֹ֑ום — tahom, cf. Genesis 1:2) is a symbol of how loving power can cover chaos, a picture of how grace can be a barrier to the chaos of the underworld. Behind this phenomenon is an order and meaning far beyond human knowledge. A heavenly order that parallels the order on earth. Thus, if Job wanted to understand his suffering, he must first acknowledge his limitations. The suffering he experienced was not evidence of God's absence, but rather part of a greater order that he could not yet understand.

Friends of the Bible, rest assured that God is present in all things. Even the gentlest gust of wind can be His rebuke and greeting. Thus we can conclude that He always educates in His way. When life becomes overwhelming because of our struggles rest assured that God is always at work. Ultimately, in a world that often seems chaotic and unjust, faith is not about finding explanations, but learning to live in awe and obedience.
