How long are you going to stumble?

And Elijah came to all the people, and said,"How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him."But the people answered him not a word. – 1 Kings 18v21

After three years of God imposed drought the people were ready to pay attention. Elijah confronted King Ahab. The drought was Ahab’s fault, not Elijah’s. After three years The people were looking for someone to put the blame on.

So Elijah called for a test. He met on Mt Carmel with 450 prophets of Baal. Before the contest started Elijah addressed the people.

‘How long are you going to limp back and forth between two opposing vies. If Yahweh is God follow Him. But if Baal, then follow him.’

Elijah laid down the choice of the ages. We only have room for one god in our lives. If we try to serve both God and our own modern replacements for Baal we are going to stumble back and forth between the two. We won’t be able to do either one properly.

Choose God or choose our own modern god replacements. It is time for us to stop stumbling back and forth between the two.

Choose today who you are going to serve. Stop stumbling back and forth.

Make a choice.
