Then Elijah said to the people, "I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD; but
Baal's prophets number four hundred fifty.
My friends, you and I need to recognize that in our own community and our own city and our
own nation and in the world at large there are good people, concerned people, dedicated people
who do care about the same problems we care about. They are waiting for someone to step out
and provide some leadership.
"What are you doing here, Elijah?" Why are you hiding in this cave? Why aren't you out there
making a difference?
(1 Kings 18:22
NRSV)
Remember there are people who still care. When Elijah cried out that he was the only one left in
Israel who cared, God called him a liar. He showed him 7,000 persons who had not bowed down
to Baal. Good people. Concerned people. Dedicated people. All they needed was someone to step
out from the crowd and give them some leadership.
Lord Jesus, you have made a difference in my life and in my world. Show me the way to make a
difference. Amen.
