Lazaroo – Friday, July 20, 2012
No comments, Jul 20, 2012
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with Spirit-compelled curiosity:
“…trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing…”
(1 Peter 1:11)
What comfort, Jesus!
When I want to know the future, I don’t have to
go to a fortune-teller
read fortune cookies
use a Ouija Board
read my horoscope
sort through the ramblings of Nostradamus
consult a palm reader
send money to some false prophet
pour over the most recent Gallup poll
rely on
Time Magazine
the Discovery Channel
some Harvard professor
the latest scientific discovery
which will be replaced
by yet another scientific discovery
next week.
Their opinions are often worse – and seldom better –
than mine.
The best of them are merely educated guesses
limited by the source of their education.
You know exactly what’s going to happen.
You live in me.
If it would be helpful for me to see into the future
You’ll let me know.
