Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then the word of the LORD came…”
(Jonah 3:1)

That word, “Then” is huge, isn’t it, Jesus?

It implies that something went before it.

Did it ever!

Jonah had a near-death experience
orchestrated by You.

Now that You had his attention

You gave him his marching orders.
Again.

I can do what Jonah did and wait for the “then,” can’t I?

Or I can skip the near-death experience and pay attention –
which Jonah should have done the first time.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…the fish…vomited Jonah onto dry land.”
(Jonah 2:10)

All these miracles, Jesus!

You send Jonah to preach to Ninevah.
When he hops a boat in the opposite direction, You create a storm.
When they throw him overboard, You send a fish to swallow him.
When he repents, You order the fish to spit him out –

not into the ocean, but onto dry land!

Thank You for reminding me how serious You are

when You send me to tell others about You.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Salvation comes from the LORD.”
(Jonah 2:9)

Okay, Jesus…that’s true!

But not exactly a news flash.
That’s pretty much Your specialty.

But this statement comes from the mouth of the runaway prophet Jonah

from inside the belly of a great fish
who had swallowed him
and was trying to digest him.

So this was a statement of pure faith!

I love that You give those who run from You
the chance to repent, turn around
and run back.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“What I have vowed I will make good.”
(Jonah 2:9)

Easier said than done, Jesus.

At the time I make a vow
I’m fired up, determined.

But all that passion tends to fade.

That’s what Jonah ran into.

At first he was on fire!
Later on…not so much.

It’s the “later on” that separates the sheep from the goats, isn’t it?

I’ve been a goat too many times in my life, LORD!

Please. By Your grace:

Not this time.

 See if you identify with Jonah as you pray this Lazaroo 

“…the earth beneath barred me in forever…”
(Jonah 2:6)

Thank You for this glimpse into Jonah’s despair, Jesus!

He was certain he was doomed in the belly of that great fish You created to swallow him.

You put him there to punish him, to give him a little time to think

while screaming.

You’ve had to do the same for me a few times, Father –

I didn’t thank You while I was going through it

but now…
I do.
