1 Kings 18:42-45
18:42 So Ahab went on up to eat and drink, while Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel. He bent down toward the ground and put his face between his knees.
18:43 He told his servant, “Go on up and look in the direction of the sea.” So he went on up, looked, and reported, “There is nothing.”
Seven times Elijah sent him to look.
18:44 The seventh time the servant
said, “Look, a small cloud, the size of the palm of a man’s hand, is rising up from the sea.” Elijah
then said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up the chariots and go down, so that the rain won’t overtake you.’”
18:45 Meanwhile the sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind blew, and there was a heavy rainstorm. Ahab rode toward
Jezreel.
Jeremiah 14:22
14:22 Do any of the worthless idols of the nations cause rain to fall?
Do the skies themselves send showers?
Is it not you, O Lord our God, who does this?
So we put our hopes in you
because you alone do all this.”
Acts 14:17
14:17 yet he did not leave himself without a witness by doing good,
by giving you rain from heaven
and fruitful seasons, satisfying you
with food and your hearts with joy.”
