Summary of Psalm 147:18

Psalm 147:18 (ESV)

18 He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.

With his almighty power, God also puts an end to the cold. When the Lord speaks anew, snow and ice melt. Where people must put in efforts with snow shovels and big snowplows to clear the roads of snow and ice, the Lord merely has to speak. Then the snow melts and flows away as water.
