Does God still use the weather as a tool for either/both judgment or blessing? For example:1. Ample rain for yielding a great harvest as a sign of his favor?

It is not clear why we should assume He is no longer sovereign over nature. Jesus said that the Father makes the sun to rise and the rain to fall on both the just and the unjust. That covers everybody. It is not evident that there should be exceptions in which rain/weather just happens on its own, as a Deist might claim.Ps 135:5For I know that the LORD is great,and that our Lord is above all gods.6Whatever the LORD pleases, he does,in heaven and on earth,in the seas and all deeps.7He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,who makes lightnings for the rainand brings forth the wind from his storehouses. ESV

Interesting question. I feel like you already have an answer in mind, but let me offer a few cent's worth. If one holds to that belief then it would also stand to reason that God deals with geographical regions due to righteousness or wickedness. I lean toward the belief that this isn't the case. Some of the most wicked places on earth have gorgeous weather year-round.

But I say to you,

Jeremiah, appointed by God as a prophet to the nation

Don't matter what the good Book says, Wyatt. Brad has done said God don't use weather.

OTCP,

I will add an amen to this.Sure God can do anything, no question there. But I do not believe earthquakes, Tornadoes/ hurricanes are the result of sin or punishment for sin or Las Vegas would have been gone years ago. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

I reckon you did not read the 'Good Book' words Brad used, huh? Just sayin' Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

The Deistic mindset says that God is no longer intervening in history, and that all weather or natural disasters are governed simply by cause and effect. It's just bad luck that happened. The God has changed mindset, in which it is claimed that the Old Testament God of wrath is no longer that way because Jesus bore all the wrath of the Father, (or something quite similar to that idea) is much the same practically as Deism with regard to calamities that befall people. God's hand is not only not seen in such events, it is positively ruled out in their minds. Again, it's just bad luck when calamity comes our way.With either of the above, God wouldn't do this kind of thing, mindsets, wheneved tragedy befalls, the attitude must be self-pity (Why me?) or just confusion in the face of apparently meaningless chaos, and can never be one of true worship in the face of tragedy, such as Job displayed when he fell on his face, worshipped and cried, blessed be the name of the Lord. If on the other hand, one already affirms God's sovereign control over the physical universe as well as God's perfectly wise and good character, then the only proper response to calamity
