"What are you doing here?" by The Reverend Jacquelyn Foxall
Description
After orchestrating a show of power and strength against the prophets of Baal, the prophet Elijah finds himself on the run with a royal warrant out for his arrest and death. His response is to throw himself on the ground in the desert and sulk. If nothing else, Elijah personifies the highs and lows of the life of faith. When he arrives at Mount Horeb, God asks Elijah: "What are you doing here?". It's a question we might want to consider for ourselves. You could be in a thousand different places on Sunday morning, so why are you HERE, church? And what does it mean to actually serve the Kingdom of God? It's rarely big flashy demonstrations of power and strength. Usually it's just the mundane everyday choices to be a conduit of blessing in the world. What are you doing here? It's a question AND an invitation to live out your faith moment by moment.
