Elijah and the Fire from Heaven

For hours, the prophets of Baal cried out to their god. They danced,

they shouted, but the sky remained silent and the altar stayed cold.

Then stepped forward Elijah. He built an altar and ordered it to be

drenched in water, until every stone and piece of wood was soaked. Lord,

God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day

that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant. In that moment,

fire fell from the heavens. It consumed the sacrifice, the wood,

the stones, and even the dust, licking up every drop of water.
