Lazaroo – Friday, July 29, 2011
No comments, Jul 29, 2011
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with Spirit-sharpened eyes:
“‘You have asked a difficult thing,’ Elijah said, ‘yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise not.’”
(2 Kings 2:10)
I’m a little jealous of Elisha, Jesus.
He makes a big ask
and gets a clear answer.
Even if the answer is –
“No. You can’t have the huge thing You asked for.”
At least he knows what to watch for!
And once he sees it (or doesn’t)
there’s closure
crystal clarity.
Now he knows exactly what he has to work with.
I’d love that kind of feedback from You, Father!
At least, I think I would.
I’d love to be able to ask You for something –
then have You give me a sign…
and I get my answer.
I wonder…
how many times have You done that for me
but I was unwilling to trust the sign You gave me?
