  The other thing happening while Elijah was waiting oj God is that Obadiah was doing his best to save at least some of God's prophets.  He managed to save 100 prophets, 50 each in two caves. That also meant he was secretly getting food and water to them so that King Ahab and Queen Jezebel would not find out.  It was a big risk for him (1 Kings 18:1-6).
  So while Elijah is hiding in exile, no doubt wondering what God is doing back in Israel, God is using Obadiah, a man in the King's inner circle.  God's plan did not depend entirely on Elijah; he had other people in place.

  For Reflection:  We may not see or know God's full plan.  We may think that everything depends on us.  But God has billions of people around the world who are devoted to him and available to carry out his plans.  We need never feel alone in serving God whether we see others with us or not.  St. Paul offers this encouragement in Hebrews 12: We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses (those who have gone before us in the faith). Let us throw off everything that hinders us and run the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.  

  Let us pray. Jesus, I realize I am not privy to your entire plan.  I know I'm just a small part of it. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you while I run the race you have marked out for me.

    I started this website and blog on May 1, 2012.  I am a Catholic who has been in ministry for many years.  I first developed what I would call a close relationship with Jesus in the early 1970s.   Ever since then I have been praying with people for healing and other needs.  It is because I have seen so many of these prayers answered that I am so bold as to offer to pray for you individually through this website and phone line. 

    May all who see this site and read the blog find it inspirational and helpful and may it lead you closer to Jesus.

    If you would like to donate to keep the ministry going, please visit the home page where there is a PayPal button.
