Not all smiles

Sunday August 13th, 1 Kings 19: 3-5 When Elijah saw how things were, he ran for dear life to Beersheba, far in the south of Judah. He left his young servant there and then went on into the desert another day's journey. He came to a lone broom bush and collapsed in its shade, wanting in the worst way to be done with it all—to just die: "Enough of this, God! Take my life—I'm ready to join my ancestors in the grave!" Exhausted, he fell asleep under the lone broom bush. Following the will of God is not all smiles and happiness, and sometimes even the best and strongest just get worn out. Even when we run however, God does not leave us alone in our pity. God seeks us out, renews our strength and sends us on our way, whether we like it or not.
