If You Don't Bother God, Everything Else Will Bother You
Robert Walker
I King 18:36-39
During World War II when the Russians invaded Finland their planes bombed a hospital that according to international law should have remained untouched; it was clearly marked with a huge red cross on its roof.
Investigation however, revealed that shortly before the attack snow had fallen and covered the cross. So as long as the cross could be seen -- all in the hospital were safe, but when it was covered over and not visible many were killed.

Elijah the Tishbite, Elijah God's granite wall knowing much of the glorious past of the now apostate nation, must have been filled with horror when he learned of the rank heathenism, fierce cruelties and reeking licentiousness of Ahab's idolatrous capital.
Elijah -God's tall cedar the man who word rough clothing but a spiritual and courageous heart.
Elijah the man who ate bird's food and widow's fare but was God's physical and spiritual athlete. Elijah the man who did not die but was caught up to heaven in a chariot of fire to be with the Lord.
Then there was a contrasting character here by the name of Ahab. Ahab the King commanded the wealth of the nation but ...
