 “Obadiah feared the Lord greatly” (1 Kings 18:3). This might seem to be enough for a faithful walk, for “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; (Prov. 9:10). But we are also told: “Fear the Lord, and depart from evil” (Prov. 3:7). And again: “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil” (Prov. 8:13). One may fear the Lord greatly, yet nevertheless dishonor Him by being in association with the world that rejects Him. (Elijah and Obadiah: 1 Kings 18:1-16 by H.L. Rossier)
 Even if he “greatly fears the Lord,” a believer associated with the world or dependent upon it of necessity acts according to its principles. The Word calls this “the elements of the world.” (Elijah and Obadiah: 1 Kings 18:1-16 by H.L. Rossier)
