Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“Woe to him who…establishes a town by crime!”
(Habakkuk 2:12)

I can’t even begin to imagine how many towns have been established by crime, Jesus.

It has to be a huge number.

But the point is this:

It didn’t pay off.
Not for the people who did it.

Oh, they may have appeared to prosper in the beginning
but the end is what matters –

and that was a different story.

Well…unless they repented!

In that case
You turn our woe…into “Woah!”

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“My lover is mine and I am his…”
(Song of Songs 2:16)

What a beautiful expression of Godly married love, Jesus!

The wife admits: She belongs to her husband
then adds: Her husband belongs to her.

Mutuality.

Her husband owns her.
He’s bought her with himself.

She owns her husband.
She’s bought him with herself.

They’re one.

Isn’t that how You said it was supposed to be in the very beginning?

To this very day…

great marriages follow suit.

Pray this Lazaroo in complete awe:

“Have we not all one Father?”
(Malachi 2:10)

Yes, Jesus.

You proclaimed it through Moses 3,400 years ago:

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.”

You reaffirmed it more than 1400 years later to a crowd of stunned Jews:

“I and the Father Are One.”

The Holy Spirit Who indwells every believer

is You

which explains Your enigmatic declaration in the very beginning:

“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…”
