Your reflection is wonderful. The post made me think about something I read last week…an Oswald Chambers devotional. He commented, “Don�t always expect God to give you His thrilling moments, but learn to live in those common times of the drudgery of life by the power of God.” Here’s the link, http://www.gospelcom.net/rbc/utmost/06/15/

Having recently come from a place where I could not at all ‘feel’ God due to a number of reasons I cannot agree more. It was only through the fact that I ‘knew’ he was there due to his word and past experiences that I was able to break through ‘the mantle of things that distract me’. I also gave thanks for the things that I take for granted, but which are in fact huge blessings - things we often consider as ordinary (accomodation, car, friends and family). It was then that I gained some perspective and started to see things more through God’s eyes. I have a long way to go, but a worthwhile goal I think.

One thing that has rarely been mentioned is that Elijah is clearly suffering from depression in this experience.
This and Jeremiah show us the O/T prophets are clearly human people with problems we can relate to,

It is worth noting that what Elijah was sent to do in the wilderness was anoint a new king.
It seems religion can’t hide up the mountain and avoid politics after all.
