Lazaroo – Monday, November 2, 2009

Nov 02, 2009 I Lazaroo.


Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with Banzai belief:

“Her princes are like deer that find no pasture.”
(Lamentations 1:6)

I don’t have to think too hard to identify with those deer, Jesus.

I know what it’s like to hunt for pasture

and find none.

There are times that I feel a deep, gnawing hunger inside –

but no matter where I turn
or what I try

nothing makes my hunger go away.

There are times that I am desperate with thirst

my lips parched
my throat dry

but my thirst remains unquenched.

There are times that I long for a wide open field where I can

run and romp and play
and fall happily exhausted, into the sweet-smelling grass

but I remain hemmed in on every side

until…

I turn to You

and find

fullness to overflowing
living streams of water

and freedom to run farther

than I ever dreamed.

    Greetings; I find myself searching for a cold drink.Something is wrong-I feel it. I’ve done things my way again.Sometimes I feel out of reach-alone-exactly what satan would want me to feel.I turn back to Jesus,knowing He hasn’t moved.I am refreshed again.Picked up,dusted off,set on my way.Help me not stray Jesus,give me strength.
