Last week, as we wrapped up our study of 1 Corinthians, Paul was admonishing the church to be spiritually alert and to stand firm in the faith. What does it take to stand firm in the faith in a city like Corinth? What does it take to stand firm in our culture today? The answer is to have an undivided heart; to be steadfast and immovable knowing that the direction of your heart is exactly the opposite of the direction of the world.

God also called Israel to have an undivided heart and he did that through the prophet Elijah. He was one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament. He lived in the northern kingdom of Israel during one of their darkest spiritual times. He lived during the reign of Ahab, perhaps the most wicked king in Israel’s history, certainly the worst king Israel had had to that point. Ahab married that wicked woman, Jezebel, and had gone after the Baals and the Ashtoreth; gods of sexuality that led people into terrible moral decline.

Elijah’s heart was on fire for God and he stood to make a difference in his generation. God told Elijah to stand before Ahab and declare that there would be no rain in Israel until he gave the word.

Three and half years later here in chapter 18, God told Elijah to show himself to King Ahab. As Elijah headed south he met one of Ahab's men named Obadiah. As it turned out, Obadiah was a good man who feared the Lord. Elijah said to him, “It is I. Go; say to your master, ‘Behold, Elijah is here.’”

That confrontation gives great insights into our own hearts. God uses this story to illustrate lessons that call each of us to have an undivided heart so we can stand firm.
