But when he did pray for rain, it fell from the skies and made the crops grow.
Elijah answered: You're the troublemaker—not me! You and your family have disobeyed the LORD's commands by worshipping Baal.
Idols can't send rain, and showers don't fall by themselves. Only you control the rain, so we put our trust in you, the LORD our God.
But he showed that he was there by the good things he did. God sends rain from heaven and makes your crops grow. He gives food to you and makes your hearts glad.
