Hello everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. HE IS GREATER THAN I !!!!
Elijah was a prophet during the reign of Jezebel, a very very wicked woman. The Israelite were not worshipping God as they should and Elijah was about to show that God is a true living God. The other gods, Baal, Asherah, were not real.
1 Kings 18: 38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
Now prior to this Elijah challenged the priests of the other gods. Do a sacrifice on an altar and let the gods light it up, aka set fire to it.
The 450 priests called to their gods, cut them selves, and nothing happened. Well, except that Elijah made fun of them by saying things like your god may be asleep, or not listening, doing other things, etc.
Then is came Elijah's turn. Refer back to the scripture: 38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
At this point the people acknowledged the living God. The message to the Israelites is the same today as it was then: The LORD is GOD. Only the LORD is GOD. HE is all we need. We should worship GOD only, no other thing. We have to trust God as He is bigger than we can imagine. Let Go, Let GOD!!!
Thank you for reading today. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
