Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Woe to the city of blood…”
(Nahum 3:1)

Again, Jesus?

Again?

A scant 63 years before, You sent the prophet Jonah

to warn them that in 40 days You would destroy them.

They listened to You!
They repented!
You relented!

But now, within the span of one lifetime, they’re right back at it –

worse than ever.

They had their chance.

Their one chance is now gone
and they don’t care.

O God!

When You warn me
help me repent –

and stick with it.

Pray this Lazaroo with personal introspection:

“When the news reached the king of Ninevah, he rose from his throne…”
(Jonah 3:6)

That’s rare, isn’t it, Jesus?

Kings don’t usually rise from their thrones
when someone shows up with news.

But this news threatened his city and his own life.

Of course, he could have remained seated
waving it off as preposterous.

But when he heard Ninevah had only 40 days
before You were going to punish their wickedness

down deep, he knew:

They had it coming.

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent spirit:

“They declared a fast…”
(Jonah 3:5)

These days, Jesus

people seldom declare a fast
unless their serious.

We go without food only when we want something really badly

or when we’ve had the living tar scared out of us.

That was pretty much what happened to the Ninevites

after Jonah showed up and warned them
that You were going to destroy their city in 40 days.

May I always remember:

Because they got serious and got serious fast

You relented.
