Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“But Asahel refused to give up the pursuit; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into Asahel’s stomach, and the spear came out through his back. He fell there and died on the spot.”
(2 Samuel 2:23)

Abner warned Asahel again and again, Jesus

to no avail.

Asahel had made up his mind that he was going to kill Abner –

ignoring the reality that Abner was the superior fighter.

Absent a direct command from you

may I never do likewise.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard…”
(John 1:40)

Am I, LORD?

Have I heard?

With you, Jesus, working ears isn’t the issue.

Neither is being in the crowd
where Your Word is preached.

It’s not being able to quote it
nor discussing what was said.

I haven’t truly heard until I’ve obeyed it

been challenged to disavow it
and refused

been tempted to desert You
and stood firm.

Only then

have I truly heard.
