God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
God's voice thunders marvelously with power, displaying itself in thunder. He does great, mighty and wondrous things that people cannot comprehend, and His works and majesty exceed what people can understand. The same incomprehensible greatness is seen in the storm, whose power stands as a work of God beyond human comprehension.
His powerful voice commands the snow and the rain, and He guides the clouds and the lightning, directing them across the earth for correction, for the land, or as an act of loving-kindness. A severe thunderstorm with lightning, rain, and wind, whose force had already spent itself before reaching the travelers, illustrates the storm's power as such an incomprehensible work of God.
This incomprehensibility is true of His creative work, which is incomprehensible. Just how He made the world in six literal days He has never told mortals or fully explained to them, and human reasoning cannot uncover what He has not revealed. Scripture gives a guide to understanding His works as far as is for our good, and its account of the Flood explains mysteries that geology alone cannot fathom.
His creative acts remain beyond human grasp just as His own existence is beyond grasp. Without Bible history human science can prove nothing about the age and meaning of relics in the earth. Those who leave God's word to explain His creative works by natural principles enter a boundless ocean of uncertainty. The thunder and other forces of nature are acts of a living, personal God, not evidence that nature itself is God. His greatness in these mighty things calls people to fear and reverence Him.
