What are You Doing Here?
Hear the story of Elijah and his escape into the wilderness. He is done, exhausted and afraid since his life is being threatened. An angel provides nourishment for the 40 days of travel. He finally holes up in a cave. God reaches out to him and passes before him asking Elijah, “What are you doing here?” Are you tired, overworked, underappreciated, and burning the candle at both ends? God comes to Elijah, not in the wind or in fire, but in sheer silence. Listen and hear how God nourishes us, how we are restored after a hard week, and given life through the one who is the Bread of Life. Listen – perhaps God is speaking to you asking you to re-evaluate your life as he asked Elijah, “What are you doing here?”
