In the final challenge between Baal and God, it was proven beyond a doubt who is the living, all-powerful God. The question for us was verbalized by Elijah, “How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him” (v.21). God commanded clearly, “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:3). Jesus said, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND” (Matthew 22:7). Are we obediently serving Him? Or are we serving our desires, “worshipping” other gods of our world?
