Elijah and the prophets of Baal

This week we met Elijah. A man who faced many challenges. One of the accounts of Elijah is his encounter with those who put their faith in Baal, a man made god. Elijah challenged them to a contest. Elijah was so sure of his Lord, that he stacked the odds against himself. The challenge was to call out to Baal and to God to light the altars. However much the other prophest called to Baal, there was no response, yet Elijahs call to the Lord saw the altar fire lit in spite of the vast ammounts of water that had been used to wet the wood.

Do we have that same faith in God?
