“Answer me, O Lord, answer
me, that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have
turned their hearts back.” 1 Kings 18:37
For Your sake, let the people
know that it is You who govern the nations, the wind and the fire, all that is
in being. Such was the prayer from Elijah. His confrontation with priests of
Baal was not one of power struggles. It was simply to show the lost Israelites
just who they truly were.
Such victory was short
lasted, however. Many were slain in the name of the Lord immediately following
the miraculous showing of His presence. The governing powers were still at
large, especially aimed upon seeking death of Elijah. I can’t help but wonder
what exactly crossed the mind of Elijah moments after fire had thundered down
into the altar.
