What Does 1 Kings 18:6 Mean?
To cover more ground in the desperate hunt for water, Ahab and Obadiah part ways, each taking a separate route through the parched land. The verse quietly sets the stage for the meeting that follows.
God arranges encounters within the ordinary errands of life. Obadiah set out simply to look for grass, yet his road was about to cross the prophet's. The Lord guides the paths of His servants even when they think they are merely doing a day's work. No detour is wasted with Him; the everyday road can lead straight to a divine appointment.
