But there’s one thing for which I need GOD’s pardon: When my master, leaning on my arm, enters the shrine of Rimmon and worships there, and I’m with him there, worshiping Rimmon, may you see to it that GOD forgive me for this.” Elisha said, “Everything will be all right.

Is faithfulness a legitimate measure of success? Join Pastor Micah E. Davis, author of Trailblazers, on a journey to discover—through the lens of some obscure biblical individuals—why the answer is a resounding yes.
