People have preferences, we all do, some people enjoy the hot weather, the sun shining on their face, their skin changing colours… while others prefer an overcast day, gloomy, cold, and rainy. There’s nothing wrong with preferring a chocolate ice cream over vanilla, or even liquorice over cotton candy… things that have to do with our own taste or comfort. But it gets tricky when the choices are life and death; it would be silly at best to have a preference of sky diving without a parachute. The same when it comes to our spiritual life, which God should we follow? Or do we prefer to think we are not following any god and thus making ourselves our own gods? Chapter 18 of 1 Kings will bring us to the crossroads where we must choose which God to follow, but it will also give us great reasons why we should follow the God of the Bible.
