Pray this Lazaroo in full devotion:

“They all march in line, not swerving from their course.”
(Joel 2:7)

If locusts can do that, Jesus…

why can’t I?

Oh, I do well for a while…

then all of a sudden, I swerve
leave the lane You’ve marked out for me.

Do I make it back on course?

Sure. Here I am, talking with You right now
and grateful to be doing it.

But I would really like to mature to the point

where I never stray.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“They all march in line…”
(Joel 2:7)

It’s bad enough when my enemies show up one at a time, Jesus.

But when a horde of them lines up against me?

Not good.

Of course, this was a plague of locusts sent by You

against Your chronically rebellious people.

So as long as I stay obedient to You

I won’t have to face that fearsome sight.

Or if I do, I can remain confident

knowing You will surely rescue me.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…they scale walls like soldiers.”
(Joel 2:7)

There are a lot of ways to scale a wall, Jesus.

Some do it clumsily.
Many can’t do it at all.

But if I looked down from the top of the wall

and saw a battle-hardened warrior climbing toward me
fear would grip my heart.

That’s what Your people experienced when that army of locusts attacked –

the army You sent to punish them.

May You never!

have to do that to me.

Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They charge like warriors…”
(Joel 2:7)

Oh, Jesus.

Your warning about this army of locusts
about to descend upon Your people
is terrifying.

You don’t do things like this without fair warning.

You warn us over and over and over again.

In fact, Your kindness is sadly mistaken for unwillingness to act.

Your warnings come so far in advance
that we tragically suppose they will never arrive.

But if we fail to reverse course they will.

Dear God.
They will.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…they leap over the mountaintops…”
(Joel 2:5)

You’re describing the Day of the LORD, Jesus

when an army of supernatural locusts will sweep over the earth
in terrifying pain, anguish and destruction.

Nowhere will be safe
not even those nestled in valleys surrounded by mountains.

I don’t want to be here then!
I don’t want to be surrounded by the suffering those locusts bring.

Some people say I may
some say I won’t

But either way

I’ll have You.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“They have the appearance of horses…”
(Joel 2:4)

I can see the resemblance between a horse and a locust, Jesus…

sort of…
if I squint.

But these weren’t normal locusts, were they?

You sent them to strip away every blade of vegetation
growing in the land of Your people.

As Creator, all power is Yours.

You had the ability to give these locusts
any appearance You wished

and You exercised it.

May I never anger You as they did.
