What Are You Doing Here

What are you doing here? Are you where you're supposed to be? What are you doing here? It's not just a question of curiosity We are not always where we need to be when it comes to God We are often times out of our place and trouble tends to start As God has a predestined purpose for us on his mind And when we are not where we need to be we usually find Ourselves in situations that aren't conducive to our destiny Stuck in those places where God does not want us to be Now Elisha was in a cave hiding from Queen Jezebel Hurt, hungry, confused, overcomed and overwhelmed Then God sent an angel with food and supplies And the Holy Spirt descended and asked Elisha why Are you still in this cave stuck in this hole? God has sent you a directive to go out and be bold Jezebel has no authority as it's God who runs this show Get up and get moving to where God has told you to go Many of us have allowed fear, disappointments and shame To turn us into cave dwellers stuck in mental places of pain Feelings of abandonment, depression and despair Have caused us to have forgotten that God is and will always be there The same God that watched over Daniel when he was in the lions den The same God that was in the inferno with those three young Jewish men The same God that parted the Red Sea to save the Israelites The same God Who somehow sent you money when ConEd was about to turn off your lights The same God Who has always given you the strength to cope The same God that gave us His love a sound mind and the spirit of hope Yes there will be wilderness periods and desert terrains Just trust and believe in the One whose name is above all other names Never forget who you are and whose you are as well You're a child of the Living God who defeated death and hell So what are you doing here? I need you to understand That your mental, physical and spiritual well-being are firmly in God's hands Now pick yourself up and put on your big pants No matter how you're feeling just get up and simply stand Pull yourself together and gird up your loins Remember you're with Jesus and have it going on Just reposition yourself and get to the place of worship and praise Now in the presence of God with your hands and voice raised Ready to pursue your purpose and let your destiny manifest Now full of the Holy Spirit highly favored and totally blessed So what are you doing here? Are you where you should be? What are you doing here? I hope fulfilling your destiny
