Elijah had been doing a lot of work for God and he was tired. He was thinking he was all alone in getting it done. In fact Jezebel was out gunning for him because he had caused the death of all her false prophets. He told God, "I've been angry like you about all the false prophets and how your people have turned their back on you. Now I'm the only one left." God in effect said, "Go back. I'm not finished with the work I have for you to do. You do not realize this, but there are seven thousand more like you that have never worshiped the false Gods."
We are like Elijah. We often think there is not much more that we can do. But it's not over; there's more to do; there always is. There are a few church things to do, but most are personal things and family things. The only time we will know it's through is when we're face-to-face with Jesus in heaven; then that part of the work is done.
Be patient, the next set of tasks will become apparent soon.
