Bible Marginalia- HOW LONG?

Bible Marginalia Series-#44

HOW LONG?

Our recent visit to Israel

 and we were at Mt. Carmel this past week.

Looking at the area where this story

 takes place between

Elijah and the prophets of Baal.

He had recently confronted Ahab,
 the leader of Israel.

Aha did not fear and love the LORD.

 He did as he pleased

 and he held other things

 as more important 

than his relationship with the Lord.

He had allowed the silent infiltration 

of the pagan culture to become his life focus.

Such conviction here for our modern-day

 slip down the slippery slope.

How long? 

 Will you continue to live 

with a foot in both worlds?
Limping along living.

The 2 different opinions 

of what is of utmost importance

 in how we live our lives.

It is simple.

If the LORD is God- 

then FOLLOW HIM.

But, if Baal, then follow him.

Either or.

Give us strength, OH LORD,

to follow YOU.
