The Fire of the Lord

1 Kings 18:38-39
"Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God."

 When God works, He does not do things halfway. It would've been enough to consume the sacrifice, but in order to leave absolutely no doubt whatsoever, the wood, the stones, the dust and all the water are devoured by God's fire. It was clear and obvious Who was God.

 After such a demonstration, the reaction of the people is what you would expect. When we witness God's breathtaking power, our only response can be awe and praise.

 What ways has God's work been shown unquestionably in my life? If I can't recall a time, perhaps I need to begin praying for Him to work in a way that is beyond my comfort zone and open my eyes to ways He is working I may not see.
