Job 37:21
21 And now men see [ra'ah] not the bright [bahiyr] light ['owr] which is in the clouds [shachaq]: but the wind [ruwach] passeth [`abar], and cleanseth [taher] them. KJV-Interlinear
21 'And now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind has passed and cleared them. NASB
The evidences in this world, make Gods existence, Gods purpose, Gods involvement in this world so obvious, and yet most people do not see them, do not comprehend them, do not believe them, or simply ignore them.
The winds are used in the Bible to designate the thrust and motion of history. There are the winds of the world and the winds of heaven. What do you suppose each is in reference to?
The winds of the world refer to the efforts of man to make his own history, to make his own destiny.
The winds of heaven refer to the work of God in driving the events of history.
Guess which is the successful one.
Likewise, though not mentioned here, the seas are used in these examples as well. The seas of earth are the tumultuous events of human history as driven by man. Mans reign is filled with trouble and will never be any different.
In contrast, the seas of heaven are smooth as glass. They are calm, and totally under control. Gods reign is filled with certainty, prosperity, security, safety, and so forth.
Where you can see weather events, climate changes, seasons, natural events of just about any type, there, you can see the evidences of Gods will and purpose. And that covers just about everywhere.
