Today's reading was particularly hard because we are at camp this week. That comes with lots of noise and many distractions. I think my favorite story in today's reading it headlined - "The Contest on Mt. Carmel." We studied it in our small group this past year and I think its very interesting.
The cliff notes version is this: Elijah challenges Ahab that the God of Israel could show up Ahab's god - Baal. They set up a sacrifice to appeal for rain and challenged each other to see who's god could send down fire. Ahab tried all morning with no results. Then it was Elijah's turn. Bam! Fire. It was that quick.
It goes to show that sometimes we need to just trust that God is at work in situations and we need to just be ready to experience it...no need to handle it. God will take care of it all.
