'Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."
But the people said nothing.' 1 Kings 18 : 21

Sometimes when I read the old testament, I don't see the direct link between the happenings and my life.

I still remember Ailing posting me this question, "Either you choose to belong to God or you choose to belong to the world."

In comparison, the many things that we might place priority over God now are all Baal.
A continual process of evaluation is required, to ensure that we do not neglect God as the center of our lives.

'The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind.

After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire.

And after the fire came a gentle whisper. ' 1 Kings 19 : 11-12

The still small voice that speaks to us amidst all the busyness of life... Are we still sensitive to it...?
