Day 4: What Are You Doing Here?

God asks, 'What are you doing here, Elijah?' He is inviting Elijah to tell the truth. Elijah is honest — but he is also seeing life through exhaustion, fear, and isolation. He says, 'I am the only one left.' Later God tells him there are still 7,000 people who have not bowed to Baal. Elijah's feelings are real, but his feelings are not telling him the whole truth. Your feelings are real, but they are not always reliable. Faith is not hiding your stuff from God. Faith is bringing what you're really going through to God.
