0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit,
0:06.7	the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are
0:12.2	Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.0	This week, we are digging into the concept of godly companionship by looking at
0:24.1	different elements that make up true godly companionship. Yesterday, we talked about how godly companionship is
0:30.3	present. Today, we're going to cover this. Godly companionship is sacrificial. Godly companionship is sacrificial. And we're going to do that by
0:40.7	looking at something that happened in the life of one of my favorite people in the Bible, and that's the
0:44.8	prophet Elijah. I absolutely love Elijah, and that shouldn't be a surprise considering that I named
0:51.2	my second born son after him. And I think I'm drawn to Elijah because he was a
0:55.5	prophet during a time of wicked and depraved darkness in Israel. At my ministry, undaunted life,
1:02.3	we're in existence to equip men to push back darkness. And even a cursory study of the life of
1:07.3	Elijah reveals a man that was willing and able to push back darkness wherever he saw it.
1:12.8	There are many popular historical occurrences in the life of Elijah, like him proclaiming a drought in
1:17.7	1st, King 17, and his prayer that ushered in the end of the drought in 1st Kings 18,
1:22.7	his rather hilarious confrontation with the prophets of Bale in 1st Kings 18, him fleeing from Jezebel in
1:28.2	1st, Kings 19, where God essentially told him like, look, dude, have a steak, having to happen,
1:32.1	chill out, and him also being taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire and a whirlwind in 2nd
1:36.8	Kings, too. But today I want to focus in on a story where Elijah wasn't really the main character,
1:42.6	where he wasn't really the point, and that's the story
1:45.8	of the widow of Zarifath that we see recorded in 1st King 17, verses 8 through 16. This is right
1:52.2	after he predicts a drought in Israel, a drought that ended up lasting more than three years. I'll read that
1:57.3	here. Then the word of the Lord came to him. Arise, go to Zarifath, which belongs to
