Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the fierce anger of the LORD…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

I don’t like to think of You this way, Jesus

but I know it’s real.

You’re longsuffering, slow to anger, abounding in love…

but there’s a line.

When one of Your children repeatedly, willfully, unapologetically crosses it

You make certain they realize
that they have done a foolish thing.

I’ve known Your well-deserved discipline countless times, LORD

but never Your wrath.

With Your help

I’d like to keep it that way.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Is the Spirit of the LORD angry?”
(Micah 2:7)

I know You get that way sometimes, Jesus

because You say so!

That’s because we – for whom You have done so much –

give You good reason to be angry
when we defiantly disobey You.

But I’m still here – and not fried to a cinder by one of your lightning bolts –

because You’re slow to anger

which gives me at least a little time to change my ways

before it’s too late.

Tremble in fear as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They provoked the LORD to anger…”
(Judges 2:12)

You’re slow to anger, Jesus.

It takes a lot to get You steamed.

If that wasn’t so, I’d be dead

along with the entire human race.

We’re all sinners.
Every last one of us.

But though You’re slow to anger

You eventually get there.

There’s a line I’d better not cross.

I don’t see it.
I have no idea how far ahead of me it lies.

Best response?
Turn around.

Now.
