My 2026 Theme Verses: Psalms 145:4-7 (ESV) One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

Do you struggle between two opinions? 1 Kings 18-22
Do you struggle between "two" opinions? Is not that the struggle we meet with every day. In our head we know that God is the God we think He is. But, then in our heart we want to follow our weak flesh. The flesh is weak but powerful enough to block out our vision of the Father. The flesh is weak but strong enough to entice us to disobey the God we love. The flesh is weak but mighty enough to get us to falter in our faith. Elijah brings all the prophets of the country who worship the idol Baal and brings all the nation of Israel to Mount Carmel. He asks the nation of Israel how long they will falter between "two opinions?" He challenges them if they want to serve Baal, serve Baal. But, if they want to serve Yahweh, serve Yahweh. There really is no comparison. We know in our hearts that God is the God we should worship. But, the gods of money, power, status, popularity, sensual pleasure, gluttony, etc. are so enticing to our flesh. How long will we fight between two opinions (1 Kings 18:21)? Let us by faith choose what Elijah chose. God is the powerful God who can and does defeat the flesh. As we express faith we see flesh melt in the power of the Father.
