1 Kings 18:17 "And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?"
Sin hates the light of truth and clings tenaciously to the darkness of deceit. Anytime there is sin in my life, lies are close at hand. Sin's agenda cannot be advanced without deceit. After all, we war against Satan, the father of lies.
When Ahab is confronted with a man of God, a man who is following God, his immediate response is to misstate facts. Ahab may have truly believed that Elijah was the cause of the bad things befalling Israel, however it was a lie he bought into because his sin was blinding him to the truth.
Once truth is shown on a repentant heart, the response with always be confession and turning. What light do I hide from?
