1 Kings 17-18, Acts 11, Psalms 135:1-21, Proverbs 17:12-23
What God said to me – There is a saying “make sure you are on the right side of history” – meaning that when it is all said and done and history is written, make sure you stood for what was right. That is really a difficult thing to do when the world is upside down and calling evil good and good evil. When Elijah showed himself to Ahab, Ahab’s response to him was, “Is this you, you troubler of Israel?” Elijah was able to rightly say, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have because you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and you have followed the Baals.” No matter what the world may say, you can never go wrong when you stand for Me. However, you need to understand that as the world turns more and more away from Me, there may be a price for your faithfulness. You may be attacked verbally or physically or shunned by those who are family or friends. Choose you this day whom you will serve and stand firm.
