No One Was Listening

From today’s reading…

They called out louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears,

as was their custom, until blood gushed over them.

Noon passed and they remained in a prophetic state

until the time for offering sacrifice.

But there was not a sound;

no one answered, and no one was listening.” 1 Kings 18:28-29

Elijah mocked the prophets of Baal who showed themselves to be great at garnering the attention of everyone but inept at bringing about real change. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

Ignore the carnival barkers and focus on those leading by example because they are the ones who will show you how to…

Stay the course. Keep the faith. Endure.

Now go sell something.
