The word God gave Elijah wasn’t just impacting him, it impacted the entire country. Much like if God is giving you a word, it’s not just going to impact you but it’s going to impact those around you.
The importance of Elijah not giving up on the prayer for rain after three 1/2 years of nothing… the crops, the animals, and the people are all in desperate need of this rain. Yet, Elijah had to faithfully take action and pray for the cloud to show up. His steadfast determination to not quit praying until his servant saw a cloud.
How many times have you gone out to see if the cloud was in the sky? (1 Kings 18:43)
How many times around the Wall of Jericho have you marched? (Joshua 6:1–27)
How many times have you dipped in the Jordan River? (2 Kings 5:14 - Nahamman)
In each of these stories, the miracle didn’t come after the first action was made. It came after multiple actions and multiple days or years.
What we do in the waiting is crucial!
Will doubts come into our minds, yes, we are all human. However, the question is do your actions follow your doubts or follow your faith?
