Something is Rotten

Israel had a problem with straying from God and what God wanted for them. Someone had to take them back to God and that person was a prophet. One of the most remembered prophets was Elijah. One of the many things Elijah did was to have a sort of a “face of” with Ahab and Jezebel who were the king and queen of Israel. Elijah said that he would make two altars on mount Carmel and each of them would have to summon their gods to make a fire on the altar. Baal the god of Ahab and Jezebel did not send fire because he was a false god, but Elijah’s God, the true God sent fire and burnt up the altar. My visual for this is a man trying to rewind the time of the clock. In our daily lives, a lot of people find themselves not spending enough time with God every day. We feel like we need more hours in the day or to rewind the clock in our lives. Not having enough time in our days to be with God means that there is something in our day that we are putting in front of God. That thing that we are putting in front of God is our idol.
