Commentary on 1 Kings 18:41

Theological / Devotional

Elijah said. Elijah was in complete command of the situation. It was he who commanded the people, and it was he who directed the king.

There is a sound. The sound was not in the prophet’s ears but in his heart. By faith he knew that rain was about to fall. The repentance of the people had removed the cause for judgment, and Elijah perceived that the longed-for showers were consequently due to fall. Elijah lived a life of faith and a life of prayer. When God sent him to announce the drought, he knew that it would be even according to the word of the Lord. The same Spirit that had placed in his mouth the one prediction, now gave to him the other.
