The Broom Tree (1 Kings 19:1-15a)
Elijah goes to God seeking relief, a remedy for the great weariness he feels in his bones. He wants God to change the world, but all God offers to do is change him. Presumably, being in God’s presence is of greater value to us in our pain and despair than any stop-gap measures or dime-store remedies we could conjure up on our own.
We often want God to fix the world or take us out of it, but what God offers to do is to sit beside us in it.
