This morning I started and finished reading the Book of Obadiah. I can honestly say I had never heard of this book in the Bible. How is that? I went to Catholic grade school and I took Introduction to the Bible in college. I hope at one time I knew of the book and I can just blame it on my slipping memory. A problem I seriously have and am trying to fix. (Is there even a way to fix that?)
Catholics get grief all the time for not ‘knowing the Bible like other Christians’ and I was hoping to prove that point wrong by reading the entire Bible. But I now need to admit that I have never heard of the Book of Obadiah. Heck, I don’t even know how to pronounce Obadiah. Although it helps my case that this is the shortest book in the Old Testament. I guess I have never skimmed the contents of the Bible because now I realize I have never heard of the Book of Haggai. But I don’t start reading that book until Dec. 20th so I got some time to worry about ‘unknown’ book. Gosh I feel like a slosh. But I hope God realizes I am trying!
