While the false gods could not answer, God showed up and proved Himself over and above any doubt. Not only was the reality of God revealed, but also the fraud of the false gods and prophets. The prophets were immediately executed for their crime. Do we understand how critical it is to represent God in truth? and in love? If we don't represent in love, we will drive people away. If we don't reveal the Truth, we may be leading people towards eternal demise. Thankfully, though we are not perfect, God is more loving and more powerful than all of us, put together. Sure we make mistakes, but "Many plans are in a man's mind, But it is the LORD'S purpose for him that will stand (be carried out)." (Proverbs 19:21, AMP). We can also have hope in "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8;28, ESV) So, Let's not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary" (Galatians 6:9, NASB) but let us continue to work for the glory of God! <3
"Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench." (1 Kings 18:38, NIV)
