I am one of those "yes-or-no, on-or-off, right-or-left" kind of
people who does not like gray areas, mediocrity, or an unwillingness
to commit (which can be bothersome to non-committal-type folks).
Elijah was one of those, and he was especially bothersome to Ahab
and Jezebel. God is too, apparently, because He immediately answered
Elijah's prayer with fire (v.38). No gray area there!
So, as Elijah said that day, "If the LORD is God, follow him."
So Ahab summoned all the people and the prophets to Mount Carmel.
Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, "How long are you going
to waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him! But
if Baal is God, then follow him!" But the people were completely
silent. (1Ki 18:20-21 NLT)
