What can we learn from this passage?
nGod deals with nations, not just individuals
nNatural disasters are sometimes punishment
-Not always, though: See Job, Luke 13:4
nCompetent, God fearing people rise to the top
-
Sometimes they are called to “be salt and light” even working for evil men
nLike Obadiah, such workers may find special opportunities to serve God
nOur personal sin may often have painful consequences for other innocent people
