Pray this Lazaroo, overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, ‘I will destroy you, and none will be left.’”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

It’s one thing to be defeated in battle, Jesus

to be shamed and disgraced
taken captive, reduced to slavery.

But this time it was worse.

The Philistines so infuriated You with their blatant idolatry
that You threatened to annihilate them

leaving no survivors.

That’s what my sins deserve.

But instead of wrath –

through the cross –

You’ve offered me mercy!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…the little ones you said would be taken captive…”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

The Israelites in the desert missed that prediction, Jesus.

They looked at their circumstances
concluding they knew where their steps were taking them.

But they were 100% wrong.

I’m ashamed to admit I can identify.

When will I stop looking behind me and around me
to guess the future?

The only direction I need to look is up –

straight to You –

the One who determines my every step.
