Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Elijah retreats to a cave, and the word of the LORD comes to him, asking what he is doing there.
Neville's Inner Vision
The LORD's word arrives not in a storm or flame, but as an inner annunciation—your I AM awakening to itself. Elijah has sought shelter in a cave, a closed state of mind that tells a man he is hidden from purpose. Then the question falls, What doest thou here? In this moment, the cave is a belief about limitation, a scene you have rehearsed until it feels real. Yet this visitation is the I AM calling you to revise your inner scene, to choose a different assumption about who you are and where you stand. God, or the I AM, is not outside but within; imagination births reality when you hold to a new sense of self. When you answer with honesty, you are not leaving God behind but strengthening your alignment with your true vocation. The invitation is to move from withdrawal into action, from fear to faith, from isolation to purpose. Your present mental cave can become the platform for the life you are now capable of, if you greet the call with the conviction that you are that very I AM, and so you act accordingly.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise your scene: let the I AM speak and declare, 'Here I am, send me,' then step mentally into the work you are designed to perform.
