“Well, I’m Here, Aren’t I?”
By: Dylan Forgey
IV alarms are going off. Machines are beeping. Nurses are moving quickly around the station. It’s a familiar scene for me. When I grab the chart I need, I often ask the staff one simple question: How are you doing today?
There’s usually a pause.
Then the answer comes with a sarcastic chuckle: “Well… I’m here, aren’t I?”
We laugh. But that response says more than we think. It reveals something about the heart. Showing up and getting through.
And if we’re honest, that same spirit can drift into our spiritual lives, especially as Christians.
Sunday morning comes. Another week begins. Another routine. And beneath it all: Well, I’m here, aren’t I?
When we look at the opening chapters of Exodus, Moses knew something about the “same old, same old.” After fleeing Egypt, he spent decades in Midian tending sheep. A royal palace replaced with desert and sheep...so many sheep. Day after day, and season after season.
Then one day, in the middle of the mundane, the LORD appeared in a burning bush.
God did not meet Moses when he was sitting around waiting for something exciting to happen. He met him in the middle of his everyday work. And when God called his name, Moses did not respond with indifference or sarcasm.
He said, “Here I am.”
The Christian life is not about routine passivity until Jesus returns. It is not dragging ourselves through the week while we count down to eternity. It is actually a life of readiness.
At your 9–5. Running errands and showing up again tomorrow.
In actuality, ordinary moments hold the possibility of something holy and powerful! The question is, “Are you ready?”
Will we settle for the sassy, “Well, I’m here, aren’t I?”
Or will we live with open hands, open ears, and a readiness that says:
“Here I am.”
