Bible Verses About Winds
The Bible has a lot to say about the wind. In the Old Testament, the power of the wind is used to describe God’s presence and power. In the New Testament, Jesus uses a storm as an analogy for his return to earth.
“For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:10-11 ESV)

“‘For God will bring every work into judgment,’ including every secret thing, whether good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:14
The Bible contains many references to the wind. Jesus used it as a metaphor when he talked about the importance of being a good listener. The apostle Paul wrote that we should let our speech be seasoned with salt, like the seasoning on a fish. And in Hebrews 11:7, he quoted from an Old Testament book (Job) that says “the Lord’s wind” caused the waves of the sea to roar.
Some people believe that hurricanes are caused by God’s anger or punishment for sin. This is not true! God cares about us and wants us to love him with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength (Matthew 22:37). He made everything beautiful for our enjoyment (Psalm 19:1) and has given us many wonderful things to enjoy on earth (1 Timothy 6:17). But sometimes storms come that hurt people, animals or property. When this happens, it isn’t because God is angry at them — it’s because he loves them enough to give them time to turn back to him before they die in sin (Ezekiel 18:23; Acts 2:21).
- “Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. In my Father’s house there are many rooms; if it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.’ Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?’ Jesus answered him, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'” (John 14:1-6)
- “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.” (Luke 11:24-25)
- “The wind blows wherever it pleases.” (John 3:8)
The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.
The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. Psalm 28:7 (NIV)
