Reflection for Monday, 7/6/26
“Obadiah was a devout believer in the Lord. While Jezebel was killing off the Lord’s prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water.” 1 Kings 18:3-4 NIV
A MESSAGE FROM AMIR TSARFATI
“As the man in charge of Ahab’s household, Obadiah found himself serving in the highest levels of a corrupt and godless government. Yet when Jezebel began slaughtering the prophets of the Lord, he quietly hid one hundred of them in two caves, fifty in each, and provided them with bread and water.
What a reminder for us today.
God may place you in a position of influence where you are surrounded by ungodliness and compromise. He hasn’t put you there for fame, success, or fortune. He has placed you there to serve Him in places where others have no access and to be a faithful witness in the midst of darkness.
When I was appointed deputy governor of Jericho at the age of twenty-one, I knew it was my faith that led the colonel to choose a lieutenant as his second-in-command. My promotion defied both logic and military convention, yet the governor sensed something in me that made him trust me more than others. I never hid my faith from him, even though he was an Orthodox Jew.
You may not be an Elijah- with all the bold confrontations, dramatic moments, and public displays of power.
But maybe, just maybe, you’re an Obadiah.
And that is no less significant in the kingdom of God.
Courage, faithfulness, and truth are rare commodities these days.
The Bible is filled with ordinary men and women whom God used to make an extraordinary difference in the lives of many.
Be one of them.”
