Let's Be Blunt

"How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is God, then follow him; but if Baal, then follow him." -1 Kings 18:21

If the Lord is God, then follow Him. If something else is god, then follow that. It truly is that simple. We cannot go limping between these two different opinions. Now, you might say or think, as I did at first "Well that's easy. God is God. I follow God." But then I stopped and looked at my actions and my life. Maybe I follow God most of the time, but I am still putting things above him, a different opinion as to what deserves to be central in my life. But let's be blunt here. You either follow God or you don't. Let's be logical. Has anything other than god EVER satisfied? No! Has anything other than God EVER led to anything truly profitable? No! Has anything other than God EVER given me anything but misery? No! THE LORD IS GOD! There is no other option. Baal, or any other false idols we want to throw in there, they are nothing. And if the Lord is God, FOLLOW HIM! With everything you are, follow Him. It is that simple. But of course, I am a human and a foolish one at that and I am an expert at making something complicated out of something simple. But we need to stop limping after two opinions and run full fledged after the Lord who is God. That is all there is to it.
