    ...That takes fairh to believe

In the Book of 1st Kings chapter 18, the Bible tells the story of Elijah….the prophet of God. In the day of this prophet it had not rained in a long time, a terrible drought was upon the land. And Elijah began to pray. The word says starting in verse 42 of this chapter that “Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and cast himself down upon the earth and put his face between his knees, and said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, there is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand".

The story goes on to say “And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain”.

Isn’t that faith…. Although the servant would come back time and time again to report to Elijah that there was no rain in sight or on the horizon…Yet Elijah told the servant “Go again seven times” and the servant was obedient unto Elijah’s command.

When we have faith in God, we too can know that the answer is on its way….even when we do not see the immediate results before us. But, if we will continue to pray and believe….maybe more than seven times…..know this ,,, God does hear our plea, our cry and sees our face between our knees. For He will surely open heavens gates for us even if it be minor, and your reign will come even as the size of a man’s hand,

“For your answer is on its way”.
