Elijah has had enough: the Israelites need to get off the fence. Either the Lord is God, or Baal is (1 Kings 18:21). In order to answer this question, Elijah fearlessly challenged the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. With unshakeable faith, Elijah proves God’s true divinity in a seemingly impossible feat.
As followers of Christ, we must always be prepared to give a reason for our faith (1 Peter 3:15); sometimes, however, we feel unequipped to do that on our own.
Question: Would you, like Elijah, stand fearlessly in front of hundreds of people and expect God to show up?
