Going Against Logic

Sometimes God calls his faithful to do things that go against logic. In the case of Obadiah in 1 Kings 18:1-20, he was asked to do something he thought would get Elijah killed. Instead it set up a show down that revealed God’s ultimate power. During a severe famine, Obadiah is helping Ahab scrounge for […]
