    Fortune cookies, horseshoes, 4 leaf clovers, rabbit's foot . . . Luck. Athletes would often rather be lucky than good.However, living a blessed life is even better than trying to live lucky.

Things like a hole in one, a half court shot at the buzzer, Julie getting me as a husband. Just joking that wasn’t luck that was divine providence! LOL. ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,239 views

    Obadiah was a good man in a bad place, risking all to protect God's prophets...his concerns resonate with anyone with a stressful job, and show us the path to encouragement and reassurance.

    It would be easy to skip over this passage as merely a transition, leading to the exciting confrontation that follows on Mount Carmel. Yet this brief episode in the life of Elijah is for anyone who feels discouraged and defeated. Following three years of drought, three years of decisively ...read more

    The decisive, dramatic contest atop Mount Carmel, that compels us to determine who we will serve.

    Elijah has been called “the iron prophet.” After a three-year absence, he appears before Ahab; was he finally going to end the drought? The dry spell was indeed about to end, but first it must be established with no doubt as to who is God. The king accuses the prophet of ...read more

    When there was severe draught in Israel because God had withheld rain in that place due to their wickedness and disobedience, Elijah prophesied ‘I can hear the sound of rain.’ Awesome!
