Seven times Elijah told him to go and look out toward the sea, and seven times he went. I King 18:43
After a long drought in Israel God told Elijah he would send rain. But when Elijah told his servant to look out towards the sea for a rain cloud, his servant came back and told Elijah he didn’t see one. So Elijah sent him again and again until his servant finally came back with a good report.
How many times have you submitted a poem, article, short story or manuscript to a magazine or publisher to only receive a discouraging report? Are you almost ready to give up on your dream to write for publication?
Even if writing for publication takes longer than expected in your life, don’t give up on your dream to become a Christian author. No matter how long it takes, keep being persistent in your submission efforts, until you finally see a raincloud.
Sharing the journey,

If you’ve been rejected for publication, how will you continue to persist in submitting your writings until they are accepted for publication?
