In Whom do we put our trust?
As Ahab and the people of Israel continued to serve and worship Baal, Elijah continued to trust God. So we read through the account in 1 Kings 18 and we see that Elijah has challenged the people and their prophets; your god vs. my God!
So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel. 21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word. (1 Kings 18:20-21)
Guess Who won!?!
Elijah even poked fun at their god and some 450 prophets, saying maybe he was busy, on a journey, perhaps even taking a nap! Eventually he called upon the God of Israel and He consumed the entire offering!
You see, it only takes one person to trust God to change even a Nation! What about us? In Whom do we put our trust?
