Showers

In 1 Kings 18, Elijah prophecied that the drought would be broken. He sent out his servant to look for signs of rain but he found none. Seven times he looked and there was nothing. 

Finally, he came back to report seeing a small cloud "about the size of a man's hand. Elijah told him to take the news to Ahab before the rains prevent him from making it there. 

What the Bible records next is that "the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling" (1 Kgs 18:45).

When we are doing what God calls us to do, there are not always immediate results. Sometimes it can appear that nothing is happening such as the seven times the servant went out looking for rain or the seven times Israel marched around the walls of Jericho or the seven times Namaan the Leper dipped in the Jordan River. Noah spent 100 years building the ark on dry ground 

When God calls us to a task, the results are certain, only the timing is not. It may be early on or it may be late in the game. As it has been said, "God often passes on showing up early but he never arrives too late. 

As God affirmed through the prophet Isaiah, "so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it" (Isa 55:11).

The point is that when we are following God's expressed will, whether in recorded word or impressed in your heart, his results will follow if we are faithful. It may be longer in coming than we are comfortable with, but it is coming. We need only be faithful on our part and trust in God for his. The showers are coming. Jus' Sayn
