1Ki 18:44-45 | MHM | STEP | v. 44–45 : Finally, on the seventh time, the servant saw a small cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising from the sea. Soon, the sky grew dark with clouds, and there was heavy rain (1 Kings 18:44-45 ). Big blessings can start from small beginnings, so we should not despise the day of small things (Psalm 68:9 ). God’s answer came, just as Elijah had believed.

‏ 1 Kings 18:44-45

v. 44–45: Finally, on the seventh time, the servant saw a small cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising from the sea. Soon, the sky grew dark with clouds, and there was heavy rain (1 Kings 18:44-45 ^a). Big blessings can start from small beginnings, so we should not despise the day of small things (Psalm 68:9 ^b). God’s answer came, just as Elijah had believed.

v. 45–46: Elijah told Ahab to hurry home before the rain stopped him. Ahab rode in his chariot, but Elijah ran in front of him all the way to Jezreel (1 Kings 18:45-46 ^c). Elijah did not act proud even after God’s great miracle, but showed respect to the king and served humbly. God’s true servants do not look for worldly honor but continue to serve faithfully, no matter how God uses them.
