Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Now it is your turn!”
(Habakkuk 2:16)

Normally, Jesus –

when it’s finally my turn, I’m so happy!
I’m filled with excitement!

Not this time.

You’re telling me that if I take unfair advantage of others

I’ve planted deep into Your soil of justice a seed

that will sprout, send up shoots, bud, flower
and produce bitter fruit.

Then my turn will come to take not one bite

but to choke down every bit of it
until I vomit.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…many…wept aloud…while many others shouted for joy.”
(Ezra 3:12)

Same event, Jesus:

the laying of the foundation of the second temple.

Some wept, remembering, overcome with emotion.

Others were so happy they shouted.

That’s who we are, isn’t it?

We react differently because of what’s inside us.

Fill me with Yourself, Holy Spirit!

Put everything inside me You want to be there!
Fill me up with Your holy Word!

So what comes out of me
will consistently glorify You.
