"So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees," (I Kings 18:42 NKJV)
Elijah had prayed to the Lord to send rain. But he had to wait in faith. He had to wait for the cloud that brings rain. The manner in which he waited was very symbolic, "he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees". He took a position of humility and total dependence on God. He brought himself low before the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He brought himself to the ground. We must learn this today, though we may have prayed and even fasted for God's will, we need to wait on Him in humility of heart to perform His words and answer our prayers.
ACTION PLAN: Decide to wait on God today for your requests and petitions. He will surely visit you.
PRAYER: Dear Lord help me to wait for you with a humble heart.
