Baal worshipers served a god who could be manipulated. Theirs was a fertility/prosperity cult. If people did certain things then Baal and his wife would become stimulated to intimacy, then the land would produce fruit and the cattle would multiply. God was revealed to Israel as the One who will not be used and cannot be manipulated. His name means, “I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE.” Ex 3:14). Let God be God and stay out of the driver’s seat.
