The
Bible says that after the prophet Elijah prayed and asked God to end
the drought, he said to the people, “I can hear the sound of an
abundance of rain.”
He was saying in effect, “There is a yes from God in our future!”
Elijah told his assistant to go look on the other side of the mountain
to see if there was any sign of rain. When the assistant came back, he
said, “No, Elijah. There’s not a cloud in the sky. It’s perfectly
clear.” Elijah didn’t get discouraged and think, “What are we going to
do now? I might as well quit this prophet business.” No, he simply said,
“Go back and look again.”
This
happened six different times, but Elijah kept saying, “Go look again.”
On the seventh time, the servant came back and said, “Elijah, I saw a
small cloud in the sky. It isn’t much, just the size of a man’s hand.”
Elijah’s answer was basically, “You’d better get your umbrella. Rain is
coming!”
Friend, like Elijah, maybe you are believing for
something and aren’t seeing anything happen. Don’t give up, go look
again! If God has promised it, He will do it. It won’t be long until you
see His showers of blessing pouring down on every area of your life!
