An inspiring story
A cloud as small as a hand
How often would you go and look?
After more than three years of drought, Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees to pray for rain. He sent his servant to look out over the sea. 'There is nothing there.' Seven times Elijah sent him back. The seventh time the servant said: 'A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea.' Why keep sending him? Because Elijah trusted that God would answer, even when he could see nothing yet. Soon the sky grew black and heavy rain began to fall.
Answers often start small. Keep looking, even the seventh time.
A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea.1 Kings 18:44
