What are you doing here

-

“Then he came there to a cave and lodged there; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, 
“What are you doing here, Elijah?”

He said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.” 

 So He said, “Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” 

 And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD;

but the LORD was not in the wind.

 And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 
After the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; 

 and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing.

 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said,

“What are you doing here, Elijah?”” 1 Kings 19:9-13 NASB



"What are you doing here?" What a relevant question to reflect upon. Where are we looking for Him, IF at all.  What are our personal perceptions of God speaking?

Do not be discouraged

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

Reflect Me

-
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) Listen for me and my voice of direction. I will give you the instructions you need. Allow my peace to come upon you. Allow my healing to touch you in those tender spots, so you may share me with others. Reach out to them as you might reach out to me. You are my conduit. I will flow through you. Fear not for you are my agent of love. Reflect me to the world. Let your life speak my peace.
