Elijah and Obadiah

Passage: 1 Kings 18:1-19

Our text is a series of four pairs of conversations.  So we will let them guide our study of this passage as we draw lessons for our application.  The four pairs of conversations or confrontations are God and Elijah, Ahab and Obadiah, Elijah and Obadiah, and Elijah and Ahab.

God and Elijah.

“After a long time, in the third year … I will send rain.”

This of course is setting the stage for the great confrontation between Elijah and Baal.  God breaks the three years of silence and in His timing He calls Elijah and sends him to Ahab.
