In today’s passage, Elijah has a new mission. For the past three years he has hidden himself, as God directed, near the Kerith Brook and then in Zarephath. Now God sends Elijah to show himself to King Ahab.
We learn that King Ahab has searched extensively for Elijah and come up empty handed. We also learn that God has placed a loyal servant of His in a most strategic position—the man in charge of Ahab’s palace.
In this week’s podcast we meet Obadiah and witness the moment when his story collides with Elijah’s.
Again, we are shown examples of obedience to God, but also how each life is valued.
Here in the Old Testament, we find an example that God values each life foreshadowing the Good Shepherd that would leave the 99 for the one.
Join us as we journey with Elijah back to Israel.
