Hide and seek, Elijah style


1 Kings 19:4. Elijah had defeated the prophets of Baal and Asherah in the contest on Mt. Carmel, and had them all killed. Ahab told his wife what Elijah had done and she swore an oath to find and kill Elijah. So, he ran away and hid himself in the wilderness near Beershebah. a solitary broom tree: It "grows principally in desert, hill, and rocky areas in Israel and the neighboring lands. There it is often the only source of shade. Usually it is a bush 4 to 12 feet height with a linear shape; the twigs bear small leaves and white, pea-like fragrant flowers in spring." Sometimes we seek a little comfort from the small things in life. What are the little things you are hidding under to escape God's calling?
