What does this mean?
What does the world and religion say?
What does my Redeemer say?
"And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said unto him,
'What doest thou here, Elijah?'
Now I must ask myself this same question: "What am I doing here?"
I'm beginning to realize that the famous prophets in the Ancient Scrolls also shared the same underlying pain which causes guilt, depression and anxiety.
All of us think God is Disappointed in us. Are we going about this the wrong way? Are we falsely accusing Him of being the Accuser?
And he said, 'I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.'
When I read this in the Scrolls I remembered all of the times I answered the same way. "Why try Lord? I'm all alone! No one understands! I don't even know if You understand! You are always disappointed with me!"
My perception of His disappointment caused me to feel sorry for myself just like Elijah. This led to complaining about the same issues over and over again.
And He said, 'Go forth, (Just Go!) and stand upon the mount before the LORD.' And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake 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: and after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice." 1 Kings 19:9-12
As I read this I heard the Voice of my Redeemer in my heart whispering,
"I'm not disappointed in you!"
Now I understand His Secret!
I must Go Stand at my Redeemer's Mountain and get alone with Him! I must turn everything off around me to hear His Whisper!
Hearing my Redeemer's Whisper is another key to my Freedom!
Just Go!
Rick
