Obadiah

1 Kings 18:3-4
"And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly: For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)"

 God truly does when things out for good to those that love Him in the end. It may take longer than expected or hoped for, it will almost certainly follow a path we don't understand, but in the end we will receive good and He will receive glory.

 From a human perspective, there is no way a leader as heinous and wicked as Ahab could ever further God's plan. And during Ahab's reign, it would have been easy for Obadiah to throw up his hands, say everything is lost and bury his head in the sand. Instead, this man who feared God greatly was willing to be used in whatever way God saw fit.

 Obadiah risked his life to do what he did, and there's a good chance he wouldn't have been able to be as effective if he had been apathetic because of the wickedness of his king.

 No matter how bad a situation is, God is working it to our good if we love Him. What bad situation in my life might God be working in right now?
