Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Besides Asahel, nineteen of David’s men were found missing. But David’s men had killed three hundred and sixty Benjamites who were with Abner. They took Asahel and buried him in his father’s tomb at Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men marched all night and arrived at Hebron by daybreak.”
(2 Samuel 2:30-32)

The battle aftermath, Jesus.

Losses on both sides.
Pain. Deep mourning.

Still, one the clear victor.

As always, the one You chose.

Because of You
that’s me.

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple, wept aloud…
(Ezra 3:12)

Everybody else was shouting with excitement and praise, Jesus.

Why not the older ones, too?

Because it reminded them of what they had lost.

Theirs were tears of remembrance –

the good times they had experienced
having no temple all this time.

I too have wept over what I’ve lost…

but believe I’ll weep again – in grateful joy.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your being:

“…to escape the clutches of ruin!”
(Habakkuk 2:9)

That’s certainly what I desire, Jesus!

Disappointments, losses, hard times and setbacks are one thing.
Ruin…hangs around a little longer.

However: Anyone who foolishly attempts to escape the clutches of ruin in their own strength

is cursed, marked, doomed to failure –

not only on this earth
but eternally.

There is only one way to escape the clutches of utter, total, permanent ruin:

Trust in You.
Trust in You.
Trust in You.
