The LORD - He is God!!!

1 Kings 18:36-39 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.” Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!” As we go through the Bible, there are certain "mountain top" experiences that make us say: "I would like to have seen that!" This is one of them. Despite the response of the people here, Elijah soon pines that he alone is faithful to God. to be sure, many of us respond simply emotionally to big events like this, but there were many who sincerely were saying "The Lord - He is God!!!" We most likely will not see fire come down from heaven physically today, but may we have hearts open to see our God is Alive an at work in our lives, and renew our faith.
