They obey him when he speaks.<\/P> He causeth his wind to blow – <\/B>The warm south wind: his wind, because he directs it, and causes it to perform his will.<\/P> And the waters flow – <\/B>The snow and the ice melt.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 18<\/span>. He sendeth out his word<\/B><\/I>] He gives a command: the south<\/I> wind<\/I> blows; the thaw<\/I> takes place; and the ice<\/I> and snow<\/I> being liquefied, the waters flow<\/I>, where before they were bound up by the ice.<\/P> <\/p>\n His wind; <\/B>the southern or some other warm wind sent with commission to dissolve the ice. <\/P> The waters flow; <\/B>the rivers return to their course which before were bound up by, or tuned into, ice. <\/P> <\/p>\n 15-18.<\/B> God’s Word, as a swiftmessenger, executes His purpose, for with Him to command is toperform (Gen 1:3<\/span>; Psa 33:9<\/span>),and He brings about the wonders of providence as easily as men castcrumbs.<\/P><\/p>\n He sendeth out his word, and melteth them<\/strong>,….

Thus the hearts of men in a state of nature are like frozen earth or waters; they are cold, and without the heat of love, and affection to God and Christ, and spiritual things; they are as hard as a stone, and without any motion or desire after things divine and heavenly: but when the Lord sends his word, attended with a divine power and efficacy, it breaks and melts them; when the south wind of the blessed Spirit blows upon them, or his grace becomes effectual in convincing them of sin, righteousness, and judgment; and when the sun of righteousness arises on them with healing in his wings; with which being warmed, they are loosened, and flow to the Lord and his goodness for all spiritual blessings.<\/p>\n Psa 147:18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.<\/p>\n Ver. 18. He sendeth out his word, and melteth them<\/strong> ] See Psa 147:15<\/span> . Of the force of God’s word of command are given all the former instances, he can as easily melt the hardest heart by his Word, made effectual to such a purpose by his Holy Spirit.
