Mt Carmel

While in Israel we visited Mt Carmel which is where Elijah met with all the prophets of false gods to see whose god would send fire (1 Kings 18). Not only are the views breathtaking from the top of the mountain, but it was incredible to read about Elijah's faith as he taunted the followers of Baal and Asherah. I kept thinking of a quote that I heard during some message, "Stick your neck out for God and watch the Holy Spirit defend your testimony." Elijah stuck his neck out big time and God came through in power.

The second picture is where I stood as we sang "Days of Elijah". It was an incredible time of remembering God's power and faithfulness.
