And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.”
–1 Kings 18:21
There comes a time in each of our lives when we have to decide whom we will serve. And that is exactly the choice that Elijah was presenting to Israel in today’s verse.
He knew that if revival was going to take place in Israel, it would begin with the people who had surrendered wholeheartedly to God. But the people were divided in their hearts between serving God and Baal. So Elijah, full of the spirit of God, told them they could serve one or the other, but not both!
Today, the same is true for you and me. We must choose. Now, you may say, “We don’t have idols today.” But we do!
If you love anything more than you love God, you have an idol. If you serve anything more than you serve God, you have an idol. If you worship anything more than you worship God, you have an idol.
So who is your God? Who will you serve with your whole heart? Choose today whom you will serve and let it be settled forever.
WHO IS YOUR GOD? WHO WILL YOU SERVE WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART?
