And he said to his servant,

"Go up now,

       look toward the sea."

And he went up and looked, and said,

            "There is nothing."

And he said,

     "Go again seven times."

And the seventh time he said,

  "Behold, a little cloud

   like a man's hand

             is rising out of the sea."

                  1 Kings 18. 43-44

(Pray expectantly.

Not if God answers,

                  but how.

God always responds,

      in His way

   and in His incredibly perfect timing).
