There are many little gods in our lives that people try to worship. Elijah said: “If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.” We should remember this. If you love the LORD and you believe He is the LORD follow Him. Equally if you love Jesus Christ and believe He is the Son of God then follow Him.
This is the beginning of the study of Elijah. Elijah was a great prophet of the LORD God. He was asked to do a difficult task that put Elijah in danger with King Ahab. King Ahab was a wicked king of Israel. The LORD God took care of Elijah because he obeyed the LORD. The LORD always takes care of His obedient servants.
