Mt Carmel: Resolve

When Ronald Reagan was a kid, his aunt took him to a cobbler to buy a new pair of shoes. At the shop, the cobbler asked him, “Do you want square toes or round toes?” Unable to decide, Reagan didn’t answer, so the shoemaker replied, “Your shoes will be ready in a couple of days.” When the future president returned, the cobbler handed him one square-toed shoe and one round-toed shoe. Reagan said later, “I learned right then and there, if you don’t make your own decisions, someone else will.” This is true in the Christian life. To be passive about your life means you will become a person the world wants you to be. 1 Kings 18 has 3 truths to strengthen our resolve to become the people God wants us to be.
