Day 140: Fiery Faith

Today we read 1 Kings 17-18, 2 Chronicles 18-19, and Song of Songs 6. In this story, we are introduced to the fiery prophet, Elijah. He reminds us of the drought that would often befall seasons of unfaithfulness in the Torah and how God would provide for His people in these seasons. Then, when God calls an end to the drought, and tasks Elijah with telling King Ahab, Elijah creates an elaborate contest to remind the Northern tribes of Israel who had drifted to Baal and Asherah worship under King Ahab’s wife, Jezebel. The people are called to make a decision, to return to their faith in God, they remain silent even after Yahweh God prevails over Baal and Asherah bringing consuming fire. We are also reminded that God gives us a blessing, a portion of power and authority and we cannot take from others but gently knock and wait for the invitation to become one in a close partnered relationship.
