Psalms 147:17
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
147:17. He casteth forth his ice like morsels. Such are the crumbs of hail which he casts forth, or the crusts of ice which he creates upon the waters. The two expressions indicate a very real presence of God in the phenomena of nature.
Who can stand before his cold? None can resist the utmost rigors of cold any more than they can bear the vehemence of heat. God’s withdrawals of light are a darkness that may be felt, and his withdrawals of heat are a cold which is absolutely omnipotent. It is ours to submit to deprivations with patience, seeing the cold is his cold. That which God sends, whether it be heat or cold, no one can defy with impunity.
