Learn a hard lesson, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“It is decreed that the city be exiled…”
(Nahum 2:7)

I’ve heard of people being exiled, Jesus –

kicked out of their own country.

But I’ve never heard of an entire city

being removed from its national identity.

If that were to happen to a city in my country

which one would it be?

Or perhaps I should ask, “Which ones?”

You’re not messing around, are You?

When an entire city full of people ignore Your repeated warnings

You act.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed passion:

“…shaming your own house…”
(Habakkuk 2:10)

It’s not about me alone, is it, Jesus?

It’s about those who live with me
those who grew up with me
those I count as friends
those where I work
those in my city, state, country
those in my church.

When I mess up, I shame them.

But the good news is this:

When I please You, I honor them!

And even when I’ve strayed

by returning to You
I give them hope.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“Jonah started into the city.”
(Jonah 3:4)

Beginnings are crucial, Jesus!

Without them, nothing gets done.

But starting a task that seems doomed to failure is especially hard.

That’s why Jonah ran the other way
when You assigned it to him.

Still, successful completion of the task isn’t the most important thing.

Obedience to You is.

Only after I obey

do I get to find out if You will bring it to completion.

Because only You can.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…a visit required three days.”
(Jonah 3:3)

That’s how long it took Jonah to go through the ancient city of Ninevah, Jesus.

Back then, that was a lot.
Today, not so much.

How long would it take one of Your prophets

to go through Tokyo, Shanghai, Jakarta, Manila, Seoul, Beijing, New York –

for every person to hear they needed to repent?

Today’s technology would help!

But You care about smaller cities, towns, villages, hamlets – neighborhoods, too…

and even me.

Stand in awe, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now Nineveh was a very important city…”
(Jonah 3:3)

Every city is important to You, Jesus!

But Nineveh was important to Your plan of the ages at that exact moment in time –

not only for the world then…but the world now.

Everything written in Your Word in the past

You’re using to teach us in our present.

The amazing experiences You gave Your reluctant servant Jonah

demonstrate the extreme measures to which You’ll go

to save a sinful city.
