A Timing Notice
I was telling a pastor friend about this “Let It Rain” prophetic song and her eyes lit up. That same Sunday morning, in the worship at her church, the 
worship leader also prophesied in song that she could see a cloud the size of a man’s hand. She told her pastor later that she saw a small cloud with a wind around it, as if it were energizing it. Even greater than what she saw was the sense of getting ready for a manifestation of the glory and blessing of God because a breakthrough was coming. Let’s note this is established in the mouth of two witnesses on the same day and neither released it as a weak-someday-somehow, but rather a now-notice. We have heard, like Elijah heard something in verse 41, and he told them to celebrate, “There is the sound of abundance of rain, there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower, rain is on the way; I hear it coming,” but then he saw something. The tiny cloud was a timing notice because when it showed up he said, “Saddle up and get down from the mountain before the rain stops you.” The cloud meant all systems go—it was the beginning. It was time for change to begin! We too have heard it, now go look again! Melissa continued singing, “He makes all things new, let it settle over you. We are gonna go ahead and break through . . . because it’s the year of the cloud.”

Well-Intended Efforts
Where it is the case, may the Lord show His people where their well-intended efforts have not really been necessary, or possibly even wasted, in order that they may be more efficient and effective. May He help us discover more accurately where we need to concentrate effort, time and finance so that His purposes may best be served. “Mark a life of discipline and live wisely; don’t squander your precious life.” (Prov.8:33, Msg)

Look Beyond Changelessness
When hope stumbles in starvation and is deferred to the point of heartsick, it is hard to get excited about “looking again.” Realistically, it might be difficult for some to catch the “go look again” 
zeal just because they are drained by time and waiting. That particular event in 1Kings 18 was the completion of a three year ordeal. When changelessness lasts longer, like decades, it might take a cattle prod to get us to look again, right? Empty expectations pile up like empty cans (and you can at least sell the cans.) Worn-out hopes won’t even salvage anything by the pound. Nevertheless, consider Melissa’s “Let It Rain–Go Look Again” song a release of an official challenge to believe God is bigger than the debris of experience. Even if you are kicking the cans of empty expectations, dare to go look again until a “cloud” of hope appears. Dare to hope God is gonna show up and you be determined not to miss the first clue.
