Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with gratitude:

“From this day on I will bless you.”
(Haggai 2:19)

You had been punishing Your people, Jesus.

Because of their sins against You

they planted much, but harvested little
they ate, but didn’t have enough
they drank, but never quenched their thirst
they put on clothes, but couldn’t keep warm
they earned money…which dwindled away.

Then came the day when You said, “Enough is enough!”

You continue to treat me better than I deserve, LORD!

I’m thankful.
Beyond words.

Cling to God’s promises, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Before them…the sky trembles.”
(Joel 2:10)

Those are some fearsome creatures You created, Jesus!

Punishment You inflicted on Your own people –
a terrifying swarm of supernatural locusts.

No wonder the very sky trembled!

But if I tremble before You –

terrified to sin against Your greatness, majesty, love and wisdom –

I’ll never have to tremble because of Your punishment.

Sadly, I’ve failed at that in the past

and experienced Your loving discipline…

which steered me all the way back

to You.
