Sometimes life can drive us to a breaking point. We can give, and strive, and work, and scheme, only to feel like we're going nowhere. It can be enough to make us ask the question, "What's the point?" Elijah was there. He had done everything right, yet no one seemed to listen. When Elijah was ready to quit, God didn't walk away. In fact, God pursued him. Not only that, God spoke to him. Not only that, God spoke to him in a tender, intimate way. It may not have been what Elijah was looking for, but it was exactly what Elijah needed.
