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!
