Lazaroo – Saturday, July 13, 2013
1 comment, Jul 13, 2013
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with emboldened faith:
“That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.”
(Mark 1:32)
You heal one woman who has a fever, Jesus…
and that night everybody in town shows up at Your door.
not with hangnails
not with itty-bitty problems
but bringing You big stuff –
people who were really sick
real demons
tormenting desperate people.
They figured if You could heal anything
You could heal everything.
They were right, weren’t they?
Headache or cancer
summer cold…or dead four days
it’s all the same to You.
But I have to wonder…why did they wait till after sunset?
did it take them that long
to gather their courage?
were they hiding from their neighbors
avoiding ridicule
in case their hopes in You proved false?
Just for the record:
I don’t care whether it’s day or night –
when I’m in need
I’ll unashamedly call on You.
