1 Kings 19:9 - "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?'”
So the word of the Lord came to him “what are you doing here Elijah”. This is one of the most important questions God will ever ask us. His questions probes the reality of our spiritual state. He is asking “how did your service to me become dry and desolate?” He wants us to know that when we fail to esteem Him as our first love, we will always find that a desert awaits us.
God never intended for religion. He intended to have a people called by His name to steward, be productive, and carry His presence to those around us and to the nations.

It is as crying out and hungering for a revelation of God’s purpose for my life so I can bear fruit for His Kingdom.

I repent from trying to do God's will without abiding in His presence.
