SHOW NOTES:
In Podcast Episode 288, “Even Devoted Followers of the Lord Can Have Off Days,“ Kim discusses the example of the devoted follower of the Lord named Obadiah and how he struggled with Elijah’s instruction to him. What do your spiritual off days look like? In this lesson, Kim addresses how to return to the basics in order to rebound from off days or seasons.
Our focal passage for this episode is 1 Kings 18:1-16 with 3 and 9-12 as the focal verses:
3 So Ahab summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. (Obadiah was a devoted follower of the Lord.
9 “Oh, sir,” Obadiah protested, “what harm have I done to you that you are sending me to my death at the hands of Ahab? 10 For I swear by the Lord your God that the king has searched every nation and kingdom on earth from end to end to find you. And each time he was told, ‘Elijah isn’t here,’ King Ahab forced the king of that nation to swear to the truth of his claim. 11 And now you say, ‘Go and tell your master, “Elijah is here.”’ 12 But as soon as I leave you, the Spirit of the Lord will carry you away to who knows where. When Ahab comes and cannot find you, he will kill me. Yet I have been a true servant of the Lord all my life.
