Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few grapes?”
(Obadiah 1:5)

Yes they would, Jesus.

Grape pickers try to gather most of the grapes

but it slows them down too much
to pick every single one of them.

You, however, are informing proud Edom

that You’re about to pick them clean

leaving nothing but memories
of what they used to possess.

Help me live clean, Holy Spirit

so I don’t have to be picked clean.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…you will be utterly despised.”
(Obadiah 1:2)

Whew! That’s a tough one, Jesus!

But that was the punishment You meted out against Edom
the people descended from Jacob’s older brother.

Why?

Because of the calloused cruelty they exhibited
toward Your hurting, chosen people.

No matter how low one of Your flawed believers sinks

may I never pile on while You’re disciplining them

and risk becoming one of the “utterly despised.”

It’s not my place to add to their misery

lest some of their misery becomes mine.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“When the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed. Then he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall.”
(2 Kings 3:26-27)

Desperate people who don’t worship You

end up doing terrible, unthinkable things, Jesus!

May my faith be in You alone

causing me to do only what is good!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervent spirit:

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says about Edom…”
(Obadiah 1:1)

Edom, Jesus.

The people descended from Esau
whom You rejected in favor of his twin brother Jacob.

Though he was deeply flawed, You loved Jacob
but hated Esau – along with his descendants.

This makes me wonder:

If that’s what You said about Jacob and Esau
what do you say about me?

Whatever You didn’t like about Esau, keep from me!

But cause to rise up within me
whatever You loved about Jacob.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“People from the Negev will occupy the mountains of Esau…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

When people living in the desert are able to capture mountain fortresses

it’s Your doing, Jesus.

Isaac’s twin sons Jacob and Esau didn’t get along very well –

especially after Jacob stole Esau’s blessing and birthright.

Even though the boys made up later in life

Esau’s descendants took out their anger on Jacob’s
…and triggered Yours.

Help me get over past hurts, Father!

so I can enjoy Your blessings.
