Sound of Abundance

1 Kings 18:41
Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain." NKJV

Elijah said these words in faith. there had been no rain for three years. Everything was dry. Crops had failed. People were starving. God had sealed up the heavens because of the people’s sin in serving Baal who they believed controlled the rain. This had culminated in a great showdown. The God of Elijah and the prophets of Baal met on Mt. Carmel. The challenge was given and met mightily in spite of overwhelming odds. Now it was time for the drought to be stopped. There were no clouds in the sky, no moisture in the breeze, no sound of thunder or spark of lightening. Yet, Elijah knew that God would send the rain showing that the Creator of the universe not only had the power to withhold rain, but to give it.

Can you hear the sound of heaven
Like the sound of many waters?
It’s the sound of worship coming from the throne.
There are cries of celebration
As men from every nation
Raise their voice to make His glory known.

(Holy Are You, Lord)
