Pray this Lazaroo in holy recognition:

“…the Jews…killed…the prophets…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

Yes, they did, Jesus.

When You sent Your prophets to correct Your people’s sins
they were seldom received with open arms –

all too often, with hatred, threats, beatings, imprisonment

…and stones.

But Jews are not the only people who shoot the messenger.

It’s hard to be confronted with my wrongdoing.
I want to lash out at the person who’s in my face

until I drop my pretense and acknowledge:

You’re the One who sent them.

Pray this Lazaroo…in awe:

“…he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen…”
(Esther 2:17)

What a moment for Esther, Jesus!

And what a moment for her people, the Jews.

Little did either of them know You were behind it, Father

that there was coming a day when she would be needed
to save Your chosen nation from annihilation.

How many of the moments of my life have strategic future implications?

Knowing You, I’d have to guess…

all of them.
