In today’s passage of 1 Kings we see Elijah calling the people to choose whom they will serve. To prove to them that the Lord is God, Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest, “Let the true God show himself by fire”. As we examine the altar of God and the altar of Baal and their characteristics we must ask ourselves- Which altar am I serving? Am I following the true and living God or am I following something less? Choose this day whom you will serve.
