Pray this Lazaroo in growing awe:

“‘Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?’ Nathanael asked.”
(John 1:46)

People didn’t think much of Your hometown, did they, Jesus?

It was small – maybe 120-150 people.
Almost everyone in the village was related, from the tribe of Judah.

They were probably trying to hide their royal lineage from King Herod

since he was paranoid about his questionable right to the throne.

But Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would come from there

600 years before Nazareth even existed.

Pray this Lazaroo in unexpected gratitude:

“I have found a man among the exiles…”
(Daniel 2:25)

That’s not where most people would look for top leadership, Jesus.

Exiles can be surly, ill-tempered, out-of-sorts.
They can have a chip on their shoulders.

After all, they were forcibly removed from their homeland.
Besides, how smart can they be…if they couldn’t escape?

But You delight in using people others disrespect!

When I’m choosing a leader

May I care more about the quality of person
than where they came from.
