Pray this Lazaroo in loving, eternal gratitude:

“…pay with his life for this…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

That’s what Adonijah had to do, Jesus

and that’s what was required of me.

I’ve sinned against You.

Not once or twice, but repeatedly.

My life!

That’s the pronounced sentence
for willfully defying Your loving commands.

I was imprisoned on death row

until You stepped into my cell
and took my place.

You let them kill You instead of me

so that I
utterly guilty
without excuse

could go free.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They will occupy the fields…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

That’s quite a promise, Jesus

or, depending on my perspective

quite a curse.

It’s stunning…humbling…to learn that You’ve given me someone else’s possessions

also stunning…humbling…to think You might give mine to someone else.

That goes for opportunities too, doesn’t it?

When You call me to do something
how many others first turned You down?

If I fail to obey Your calling
who will You raise up instead, to take my place?
