Pagan worship seems so foreign to me yet it was very common during this time. It really is hard for me to grasp. Yet here is Elijah, the sole survivor of God’s prophets because the king has slaughtered all of them, front and center challenging these pagan priests and powerful King. I see someone who is bold and courageous. Someone I desire to be more like. Someone who loves God more than his own life who is willing to do anything God asks. I know if I was Elijah, I would be shaking to the core, asking myself, “Did God really ask me to do this? Did I hear him right? Is God really going to show up?” Not good ole Elijah! He is steadfast in his challenge. He is focused and confident. I am left thinking, “what if I prayed like Elijah? What could God do through my life?”
That’s our challenge in today’s world. What if…
What if…
I prayed like Elijah?
I was devoted to God like Elijah?
I gave my all, risking everything to serve my God, like Elijah?
What if…
The next step is up to me...is up to us. Are we or am I going to keep a “what if” between me and My Lord? What is your "what if" and how are you, along with the Holy Spirit, going to move forward?
