“So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed.”
1 Kings 18:28 (NIV)
Our Lord tells us not to think we will be only heard in prayer by uttering many
words like the pagans do.
words like the pagans do.
This account of the confrontation between Elijah and the prophets of Baal, illustrates for us the custom of pagans. They shouted, they danced and they cut themselves, all because they believe that their god wasn’t paying attention to them.
Our God is different than this false gods, He is our heavenly Father and His attention is on us.
He knows what we need before we ask.
The situation we are in right now is under His loving control.
He knows what we need.
Let us quietly and humbly acknowledge His Presence and His Sovereignty over our situation, and ask Him for what we need today.
