Scared of the Answer

1 Kings 18:21 "And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word."

 A person who truly wants to find the answers will not shy away from the answers when they are found. If Elijah harbored any doubt regarding God's existence, he would not have issued this statement. Because if he had been wrong, it would have resulted in the people following Baal, something he clearly did not want to happen.

 But instead, he boldly, fearlessly issues this statement because he knew the truth and was not afraid of the answer to a hard question.

 Are there hard questions in my life, the answers to which I might be afraid of? Only a love of Truth and a real desire for Truth will overcome that fear.
