Pray this Lazaroo with ironfisted determination!

“My people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path. The Lord takes his place in court; he rises to judge the people. The Lord enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people…”
(Isaiah 3:12-14)

This is the worst, Jesus!

When the people You’ve called and equipped to lead
turn their backs on You

what are the rest of us to do?

Though our leaders forsake You

may we always and forever remain true!

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“You are a swift she-camel running here and there, a wild donkey accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in her craving—in her heat who can restrain her? Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves; at mating time they will find her.”
(Jeremiah 2:23-24)

Okay, Jesus.

I think I now have a fairly clear picture
of how You view those who forsake You

and run after other gods.

You alone will I worship

all the days of my life!

Pray this Lazaroo with heightened incentive:

“…just as he had sworn to them.”
(Judges 2:15)

When You swear something to me, Jesus

it’s usually a good thing.

After all, when You swear it, it happens.

It’s something I can absolutely count on.

But in this case, what You swore to Israel was happening

and they didn’t like it.

If they forsook You,

You swore You would fight against them.

Since You keep all Your promises to me

I’d better keep all my promises to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Their…entrails [will be poured out] like filth.”
(Zephaniah 1:17)

Well, so much for those who think You’re into sugarcoating things, Jesus!

That’s about as graphic as it gets.

The image is awful to visualize
let alone see
let alone experience.

But You’re making a point.

This is how You’ll treat some
who turn back from following You

who refuse to seek You
to ask for Your help.

Not me, Father!

I’m determined to follow You to my death.

 Pray this Lazaroo in faithful allegiance: 

“…the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals.”
(Judges 2:11)

How could this happen, Jesus –

especially to Your people?

They decided You were the God to turn to in times of crises

but Baal was the god of everyday life
whom they could worship with temple prostitutes.

But You’re not only the God who can part the Red Sea

You’re also the God of my morning, noon and night

the Friend

who sticks closer than a brother.
