A place Mapquest can't find

(1 Kings 19)

God saw Elijah‘s little world falling apart,
and asked
“What are you doing here?"
And
God in His mercy
fed and sheltered Elijah
and
waited as a breeze
waited as a tremor
waited as an inferno
then
repeated His question
in a small voice

“What are you doing here?”



And today
God in His infinite mercy
feeds and shelters His children
who are worrying about
their little worlds falling apart.

And He waits
sometimes as a brook
sometimes as a cloud
sometimes as a flood
and
repeats His question
in a small voice
“What are you doing here?”
