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 in sobered reflection:

“…the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.’”
(1 Samuel 2:30)

So much for the name-it-and-claim-it crowd, Jesus.

I can’t stand on every promise You’ve ever made
if I’m not standing faithfully with You.

May I honor you, my Savior

with everything I think, say and do!

Pray this Lazaroo with all due diligence:

“Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.”
(Matthew 3:3)

At first glance, Jesus

this doesn’t make sense to me.

I thought You were the one
who made straight paths for me!

But now…maybe I better understand.

You expect me to do everything in my power
to straighten out my own life.

No, I can’t do it without You…

but neither are You going to do everything for a lazy person
who makes absolutely no effort.
