“So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel. 21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word. 22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 23 Therefore let them give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it. 24 Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord; and the God who answers by fire, He is God.”” 1 Kings 18:20-24 NKJV

“And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word. 37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.” 38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!”” 1 Kings 18:36-39 NKJV

Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel,

It is difficult not to include the whole picture here including the hours of the prophets of Baal calling on their God, leaping and even cutting themselves for hours. Elijah waits patiently for the time of the evening sacrifice. He is not desperate, he does not need to do anything but trust You. He cannot make You do anything. He humbly waits and then gives You all the glory and turns people to worship You.

We had to wait for the due time for the perfect sacrifice of Your Son(Romans 5:6). He pointed everyone to You and was the image of You in human form (Colossians 1:15). No matter how much water is poured on the message of the gospel, how much it is dampened down, it burns bright finding new hearts to heal. We can never tell who will be open to hear the gospel or who will go home and let the words take root. Help us and give us opportunities to turn hearts to You. And to direct them to You and not take any glory for ourselves.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

“Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the people of Israel to bring you twelve wooden staffs, one from each leader of Israel’s ancestral tribes, and inscribe each leader’s name on his staff. 3 Inscribe Aaron’s name on the staff of the tribe of Levi, for there must be one staff for the leader of each ancestral tribe. 4 Place these staffs in the Tabernacle in front of the Ark containing the tablets of the Covenant, where I meet with you. 5 Buds will sprout on the staff belonging to the man I choose. Then I will finally put an end to the people’s murmuring and complaining against you.” 6 So Moses gave the instructions to the people of Israel, and each of the twelve tribal leaders, including Aaron, brought Moses a staff. 7 Moses placed the staffs in the Lord’s presence in the Tabernacle of the Covenant. 8 When he went into the Tabernacle of the Covenant the next day, he found that Aaron’s staff, representing the tribe of Levi, had sprouted, budded, blossomed, and produced ripe almonds!” Numbers 17:1-8 NLT

Lord of the last word,

I love that You stood up not just for the down trodden, derided Aaron but for Your own name. This time not with fire or judgement but with growth and life where You speak it. I can still remember reading this budding staff scripture for the first time, as a new believer, and being amazed. After all the judgement and death You show Your people that You will justify those who follow and serve You. They will not have it easy and Aaron surely did not. I am sure when Moses begged him to speak for him to Pharaoh he had no idea what it would lead to.

But there it was not only green shoots, buds, blossoms but actual ripe almonds. It is a miracle and I believe in miracles Lord. You are the one to instigate them and bring them to pass. I do not believe they ended. Sending Your Son was the greatest miracle ever. No, perhaps His resurrection from the dead was greater.

The budding staff gave Aaron, assurance, encouragement and confidence after all the jealousy and antagonism. Help us be assured, encouraged and confident today as we serve You in whatever we do. Thank You for the miracles that still happen in our world and our lives and most of all thank You for Jesus. You will always have the last word.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
