"And when midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice. But there was no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention." (1 Kings 18:29)
Just as the Baal worshippers of millennia ago, so too are the slaves of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. "....no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention."
Indeed, the second part of our text is the loneliness of empty humanity. After all the scientific advancements, after all the psychology, dreams, schemes, etc. with which man attempts to make life meaningful, all that they find is, "....there was no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention."
For us who Follow Jesus Christ and in whom Jesus Christ lives and reigns, we have His voice, His answer, His attention. I encourage you that as you read His Words you look for this: Jesus' voice, Jesus' answer, and Jesus' attention. This permeates Sacred Writ.
Father, in Jesus' Name, What a Wonderful God You Are. Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
