In the book of 1 Kings, how many times did Elijah command his servant to go and look for rain after praying for the drought to end?

Correct Answer

C) 7 times

In 1 Kings 18:41-44, after Elijah prays for rain to end a long drought, he sends his servant to look for signs of rain. The servant sees nothing and returns. Elijah sends him back repeatedly, and it's not until the seventh time that the servant reports seeing a small cloud. This story illustrates the theme of persistence in prayer, similar to the "ask, seek, knock" teaching in Matthew 7:7. It demonstrates the importance of continuing to seek God and trust in His promises, even when we don't see immediate results.
