Pray this Lazaroo in grateful astonishment:

“Their blood will be poured out…”
(Zephaniah 1:17)

How different, Jesus!

When the blood of mere human beings is poured out

they die.

When Your blood was poured out

You died

then three days later

rose from the grave.

Fully man, You bled, grew hungry, became tired.

Fully God, You healed the sick

raised the dead
walked on water
halted storms.

Your innocent blood poured out on the cross

proven infinitely powerful
to save the sinful likes of me.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…he…takes captive all the peoples.”
(Habakkuk 2:5)

I have no interest in being an evil person’s captive, Jesus.

I detest the very thought.
Freedom is precious to me.

Not freedom from You, though!

Rather, freedom to become everything You’ve created me to be.
Every other pursuit is jail, captivity, bondage.

Of course, that’s not how the tempter presents it.

The bars of his cage are cleverly disguised
the rusty padlock hidden from sight
his key to open it

nonexistent.
