In 1 Kings 18 we find a land devastated and scorched by 3½ years of drought, God sends Elijah to deliver a promise of rain—but first comes a confrontation with sin, idolatry, and spiritual decay. As Obadiah quietly resists from within the palace and Elijah boldly steps into danger, we see a powerful collision between mercy and truth. This message reveals how God often allows dryness not to punish us, but to wake us—inviting us to return to Him before the rain falls.
