Lazaroo – Sunday, September 8, 2013
2 comments, Sep 08, 2013
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with iron resolve:
“Now I will break their yoke from your neck…”
(Nahum 1:13)
First, let me picture a yoke, Jesus…
it’s a heavy, wooden device hanging on an ox’s neck
usually locking it to another ox
preventing one from going anywhere without the other
keeping both of them under the driver’s control.
Obviously, it’s not only oxen who get yoked.
So do humans.
Yoking myself to You is the best.
Being yoked to others involves significant risk.
So now my question…
with whom or with what am I yoked
that I shouldn’t be?
O God!
Break that yoke.
Now.
