We Are The People

1 Kings 18:25-29 “²⁵ Now Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.” ²⁶ So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made. ²⁷ And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.” ²⁸ So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them. ²⁹ And when midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice. But there was no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention.”

It seems that Elijah was saying, “Try your very best.” Men have tried their very best in America in recent years with the same results the priests of Baal experienced.  No answer, nobody home.

Pray today that people in America will come to the realization that without complete dependence on the one true God of the Bible all attempts by man are doomed to failure and that this will lead to a pursuit of truth found only in the word of God.
