One day many years ago my boys and I were lying on our backs in the yard watching the clouds drift by. Dad, one asked, why do clouds float? Well, son, I began, intending to give him the benefit of my vast knowledge, but then I lapsed into silence. I dont know, I admitted, but Ill find out for you.
The answer, I discovered, is that condensed moisture, descending by gravity, meets warmer temperatures rising from the land. That moisture then changes into vapor and ascends back into the air. Thats a natural explanation for the phenomenon.
But natural explanations are not final answers. Clouds float because God in His wisdom has ordered the natural laws in such a way that they reveal the wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge (Job 37:16). Clouds then can be thought of as a symbolan outward and visible sign of Gods goodness and grace in creation.
So someday when youre taking some time to see what images you can imagine in the clouds, remember this: The One who made all things beautiful makes the clouds float through the air. He does so to call us to wonder and adoration. The heavenseven the cumulus, stratus, and cirrus cloudsdeclare the glory of God.
Read: Job 37:1-16
