You know what I'm going to say even before I say it, Lord.
Psalm 139:4
This is AMANDA, the RED PANDA, our Bible buddy for Tuesday, and she wants you to know that:
God Listens to Us!
[Thank You, God!]
Elijah was God's prophet during a very dangerous time in Israel. God sent Elijah to King Ahab and Queen Jezebel to say that there would be no rain until Elijah, God's Messenger, said so. King Ahab worshiped a god called Baal. He was the god of rain and storms. Elijah challenged the king and the people to a contest. Each would build an altar, then they would pray for fire to consume a sacrifice on the altar. The prophets of Baal called and called and prayed and prayed to their god, but he didn't answer. They prayed ALL MORNING and ALL AFTERNOON. NO ANSWER! Finally, it was Elijah's turn. He dug a ditch around his altar, and poured sea water over the altar until the ditch was full. He prayed a very simple prayer to God, and fire came down from heaven, and burned EVERYTHING! It burned the sacrifice, the wood, the stones of the altar, the water, and even part of the dirt!
God listened to Elijah, and God answered!
