"Come, let us return to the LORD
         For He has torn us, but He will heal us;
         He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. 
"He will revive us after two days;
         He will raise us up on the third day,
         That we may live before Him. 
"So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD
         His going forth is as certain as the dawn;
         And He will come to us like the rain,
         Like the spring rain watering the earth."

1 King 18:41-46

Now Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower."

 So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he crouched down on the earth and put his face between his knees.

 He said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked and said, "There is nothing." And he said, "Go back" seven times.

 It came about at the seventh time, that he said, "Behold, a cloud as small as a man's hand is coming up from the sea." And he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.'"

In a little while the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy shower. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel.

Then the hand of the LORD was on Elijah, and he girded up his loins and outran Ahab to Jezreel.
