DAILY READINGS: Exodus 10:1-29; Psalms 42:1-43:5; Acts 4:32-5:11

There came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? 1 Kings 19:13

Elijah saw the Lord work a mighty victory on Carmel but ran for his life when wicked Jezebel threatened to kill him. He prayed for death but was fed by an angel and went in the strength of that for forty days till he came to Horeb. Here he heard the still small voice. “What are you doing here, Elijah?” God did not say “there” but “here” for He was with him even in those harshest of times. Are you experiencing difficult times? Remember the Lord is with you today. —Janet Fleming

So today as God’s own child, I can trust His keeping,
For I’m safe beneath His wings, when awake or sleeping.
I have everything I need, since my Saviour found me—
Shelter, comfort, peace and love, with His arms around me. —J. Fleming
