A day doesn't get any better than this for a prophet..

Some God Spots are bigger than others.  This is a GIGANTIC one.  Enjoy!

 

"The king sent a captain with fifty men to Elijah. Meanwhile Elijah was sitting, big as life, on top of a hill. The captain said, “O Holy Man! King’s orders: Come down!” Elijah answered the captain of the fifty, “If it’s true that I’m a ‘holy man,’ lightning strike you and your fifty men!” Out of the blue lightning struck and incinerated the captain and his fifty.  

 

The king sent another captain with his fifty men, “O Holy Man! King’s orders: Come down. And right now!”  Elijah answered, “If it’s true that I’m a ‘holy man,’ lightning strike you and your fifty men!” Immediately a divine lightning bolt struck and incinerated the captain and his fifty.  

 

The king then sent a third captain with his fifty men. For a third time, a captain with his fifty approached Elijah. This one fell on his knees in supplication: “O Holy Man, have respect for my life and the souls of these fifty men!  Twice now lightning from out of the blue has struck and incinerated captains with their fifty men; please, I beg you, respect my life!”  

 

The angel of God told Elijah, “Go ahead; and don’t be afraid.” Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.  Elijah told him, “God’s word: Because you sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel to whom you could pray, you’ll never get out of that bed alive—already you’re as good as dead.”

THOUGHT: How gracious is our God that He doesn't send a lightening bolt down on us when we let our things come inbetween Him and us.  Consciously keep God in front of all you do today.  Happy Friday.
