1 Kings 18-20
What God said to me – People are like sheep – they follow the crowd. Most won’t speak up even for what is right and good or against what is wrong and evil. They fear the judgment of the crowd. Their fear of embarrassment or alienation is greater than their love for Me. When Elijah asked them to choose between Me and Baal, they were silent, not willing to take a stand until they knew what everyone else was going to do. What about you? Is your testimony of Me and My righteousness and faithfulness dependent on your audience? Do you speak freely about Me when you are with your “church” friends but bite your tongue at work or when you’re with a group you’re not sure about. You must learn to be steadfast in your walk and testimony. Your actions or non-actions should not be based on your audience, but on who “I AM” and what I tell you to say or do.
