Power On!Sample

Have you ever been out on a sunny day in summer and looked up at the sky to see a tiny cloud the size of your hand? If you’re like me, you would just dismiss it and not put much weight in the chance that such a small cloud would be the beginning of a drought-breaking rain.

Now imagine you had been in a drought for over three years, and this was the first cloud you had seen in all that time. This little cloud, about the size of a man's hand. This cloud, small and seemingly insignificant, but in it a hope for answered prayer. The first visible sign of the tremendous rainstorm that would follow!

Sometimes, we wait for big, dramatic changes in our lives, big, obvious answers to prayer, but God often works in quiet, subtle ways. The single cloud may seem small and unimportant at first, but it is evidence that God is at work.

In our lives, “small clouds” could be moments of peace during chaos, a kind word from a friend, or a new opportunity that seems ordinary at first. It’s a reminder that God’s timing and ways are not always extravagant but deeply personal and filled with purpose.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness and Your timing. Help me to trust in the small signs of Your presence, even when they seem insignificant. Teach me to recognise that You are always at work, even when I can’t see the full picture.

Strengthen my faith, and give me the patience to wait for Your promises to unfold in my life. I know that You are faithful, and I trust that even the smallest cloud is a sign of the mighty things You are about to do. Amen.
