Isaiah 55:10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater” (NKJV)

Dynamics & Meaning
1 Kings 18:41&43 “Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!” “…Go and look out toward the sea.” The servant went and looked, then… said, “I didn’t see anything…” Seven times Elijah told him to go and look.” (emphasis added)

1 Kings 18:43 “Elijah (to his servant): Go now, and look in the direction of the sea…” (The Voice)
