Today's Theme
Recognizing God’s signs and stirrings before breakthrough arrives.
Topic
The Sound Before the Rain (1)
Focus
Hearing What Others Cannot Hear
Devotional
Most people live by sight. God calls His people to live by faith. That is why Elijah could stand on Mount Carmel and confidently declare that rain was coming while everyone else saw nothing but a clear sky. He had learned to hear beyond circumstances. One of the greatest challenges in the Christian life is learning to trust what God says above what life looks like. Yes, this is true. Your circumstances may say nothing is changing. Your emotions may say nothing is happening. Your surroundings may say the drought is permanent. But God may already be speaking rain.
Scripture Reading
1 Kings 18:41 — The sound of abundance of rain John 10:27 — My sheep hear My voice 2 Corinthians 5:7 — Walk by faith, not by sight
Refreshing for the Day
The people around Elijah saw drought. Elijah heard abundance. The difference was not the environment. The difference was perception. God often reveals His intentions to those who stay close enough to hear His voice. Breakthrough is often heard before it is seen. Faith hears what heaven is saying before earth confirms it. Stay Refreshed!
