Just because you see nothing doesn't mean God isn't up to something!!!
In 1 Kings 18:43-44, Elijah believed God would end the drought therefore, he continued to PRAY for rain. People probably thought he was crazy because he kept believing when it really looked like a dead situation. He trusted God would stay faithful to His promise! Persistence and Perseverance are essential! In this passage, we see that persistence and perseverance plus prayer caused a breakthrough. Elijah was not only persistent but he did not take “no” for an answer.
Many times in life we give up too easily...For example during a Doctor's appointment – when the doctor says “no,” when we have a bad day, an opportunity falls through or our kids are acting up. We must realize our prayers are providing a constant and powerful breakthrough! God sent Elijah a small sign – a cloud and soon after there was a heavy rain. Although you may not see it, God is forming small clouds on your behalf! Isn't that reassuring?!
If there is an area in your life you have given up; And you are just another touch away from victory, stand strong knowing God is forming clouds for you! Thank God in advance for the small victories in your life. You're welcome :)
1 Kings 18:43-44 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.” The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.” So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’ ”
