Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few grapes?”
(Obadiah 1:5)

Yes they would, Jesus.

Grape pickers try to gather most of the grapes

but it slows them down too much
to pick every single one of them.

You, however, are informing proud Edom

that You’re about to pick them clean

leaving nothing but memories
of what they used to possess.

Help me live clean, Holy Spirit

so I don’t have to be picked clean.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…the Lord your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to give him into your hands, as he has now done. The Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.’”
(Deuteronomy 2:30-31)

When You’re ready to do something, Jesus

You don’t have to wait for a person to cooperate.
You can make them do it.

Great God!

I’m cooperating!

Make me what You want me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…the exiles…will possess the towns…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

Exiles are supposed to have zero rights, Jesus.

How in the world could they possess entire towns?

The answer is clear and startling:

The world didn’t do this for them!

You did.

This has Your Signature all over it.

You absolutely love to lift up
the broken, the fallen, the marginalized

those who are laughed at, disrespected
tossed to the curb

displaying in them Your love and mercy
for all the world to see.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…they will take possession of it.”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

This was a brutally hard thing for Your people to hear, Jesus.

The thing they had worked so hard to accomplish
the land they had journeyed so long to enter

was not to be theirs.

Instead, it was their children who would enjoy it.

Their sin had robbed them of Your promise.

May that not be true of me!

But may all those who come after me

indeed possess what You have promised!
