Pray this Lazaroo in holy awe:

“All your enemies open their mouths wide against you; they scoff and gnash their teeth and say, ‘We have swallowed her up. This is the day we have waited for; we have lived to see it.’ The Lord has done what he planned; he has fulfilled his word, which he decreed long ago.”
(Lamentations 2:16-17)

Nothing gets by You, Jesus!

Nothing.

There’s a very good reason for that:

You know the future.

There’s a very good reason for that, too:

You make the future.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away.”
(Nahum 2:7)

I wouldn’t want to hear that decree, Jesus –

especially if I had reason to believe
it came straight from You.

Somewhat bizarre people have been standing on street corners for decades

holding signs declaring: “The End is Coming!”
Mostly, people give them a wide berth
and ignore their message.

But I’m staying alert, Father!

If the day comes when Your Word and Your Spirit say, “Go!”

I’m outta here!

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.

Stand corrected, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“It is decreed…”
(Nahum 2:7)

I can issue decrees all day long, Jesus –

as can every king, president, prime minister, chairman
judge, commissioner, CEO, leader and person on earth.

But not one blessed thing will happen

unless YOU decree it!

Sometimes we get pretty full of ourselves

carried away by our titles, positions, responsibilities
all too often forgetting to Whom we’re responsible:

You.

When we fail to check in with the Boss of all bosses

our puny decrees fall flatter than a flitter.
