“‘I sent rain on one town, but withheld it from another. One field had rain; another had none and dried up. People staggered from town to town for water but did not get enough to drink, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Amos 4:7-8)

I must be missing some of the signs You’re giving me, Jesus.

While I’m wondering why in the world these things are happening to me

You’re saying:

“Return to Me!”

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go off into the wasteland and perish. The caravans of Tema look for water, the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope. They are distressed, because they had been confident; they arrive there, only to be disappointed. Now you too have proved to be of no help…”
(Job 6:18-21)

That’s one of the toughest things You put me through, Jesus…

to let me find out the hard way
that the only one I can truly trust –

including myself –

is You.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“’You will overthrow every fortified city and every major town. You will cut down every good tree, stop up all the springs, and ruin every good field with stones.’ The next morning, about the time for offering the sacrifice, there it was—water flowing from the direction of Edom! And the land was filled with water.”
(2 Kings 3:19-20)

That didn’t make sense, Jesus!

Water? They hadn’t asked for water!

But water was exactly what they needed.

Like I, so often…

they just didn’t know it.

Thirst for God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…get a drink from the water jars…”
(Ruth 2:9)

There are a lot of places to get a drink, Jesus.

One would be from a water jar.

But I could also get a drink from

a well
a water fountain
a bottle
a bubbling brook
a juice bar
a soft drink can or bottle
a coffee or tea cup
a canteen.

But the best place to take a long, refreshing drink

is from the Living Water of Your Word.
