[The Glory Unveiled]
For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. [ 2 Kings 3:17 KJV ]
We live in a world that has become very predictable. You can tell what the weather will be before you step out the door. You can almost guess the ads that will appear on your social media feed. You even know the breakfast options waiting for you at the cafeteria. Little by little, our minds have been trained to anticipate outcomes with impressive precision. With enough data, we can sketch not only tomorrow, but decades into the future. These predictions come easily because the world leaves clues—patterns, signs, trends. And with the rise of endless analytics, we have learned to read these signs so well that we often trust them more than anything else. But here lies the danger: an overreliance on what is predictable can slowly numb our faith in the God who is not bound by prediction. When we already know the weather forecast, we forget to thank the God who commands the rain. When miracles occur, we quickly search for explanations—scientific, psychological, statistical—anything that keeps us from acknowledging that God Himself stepped in. We begin to treat the supernatural as ordinary, and the hand of God as coincidence. But in our anchor text, God confronts this tendency. He declares that He will move in ways that defy signs, break patterns, and silence predictions. He says, “You shall not see wind, and you shall not see rain; yet the valley shall be filled with water.” In other words, I will give the result without the usual clues. I will bring the outcome without the indicators you depend on. Why? So that we may know that He alone is God. So that no forecaster, no algorithm, no data pattern, no human reasoning can take His glory. When God decides to act, He does what only He can do—and He does it in a way that leaves no doubt who is truly sovereign. May our faith rise above what is predictable, and fix itself on the God who fills valleys without rain and brings breakthroughs without warning.
