Unrest

1 Kings 18:16-20
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him [that Elijah had come], and Ahab went to meet Elijah. When he saw Elijah, he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?" "I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied. "But you and your father's family have. You have abandoned the LORD's commands and have followed the Baals. Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table." So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."

Pray that the opposition experiences unrest in their heart and that they are troubled. Pray that the people of South Dakota are confronted with the truth and are forced to make the choice Elijah presented Israel: “If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” Read the rest of the chapter to see how God showed His strength and proved that He is the LORD.
