Rain, fire, dueling gods, kings, and prophets. This story has it all. At its essence though, it's a picture of the very same battle we all have raging in our own hearts. We dance to appease our false gods only to hear silence. Elijah's challenge is pointed squarely at us- will we choose a God that hears us or gods that respond in silence? Will we follow gods that demand our performance? Or taste and see that God is good? Whichever we choose, Elijah is clear, we must choose.
