Day 197..."Elijah puts Baal worshipers in their place...Saul/Paul changes sides!

Elijah performs miracles during a drought. (Somewhat like the loaves and fishes with flour and oil) The biggest is a confrontation with Baal worshipers. Elijah says it like this..."And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” Elijah wins the showdown in one of my favorite stories of the Bible. Solomon continues to write in romantic language... "How beautiful and pleasant you are, O loved one, with all your delights!" In Acts nine, Saul is dramatically converted. He is blinded for three days. The Jews want to kill him as one who persecuted the early church now changes sides. The disciples are reluctant to receive Saul/Paul until they hear of his genuine change. Dorcas known as one of "good works and charity" is raised from the dead by Peter. God's power is pretty awesome in chapter nine to change Paul and raise Dorcas.
