Lazaroo – Thursday, April 28, 2011
1 comment, Apr 28, 2011
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with sold-out surrender:
“The LORD has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated those he has invited.”
(Zephaniah 1:7)
You did indeed prepare a sacrifice, Father:
Your only Son.
The sacrifice of all time.
Then You invited me to come.
When I did…when I believed…
You consecrated me.
O Jesus.
I cannot thank You enough for laying down Your life to be my sacrifice!
But now, like Isaac walking up that mountain with Abraham …
it’s my turn to be a sacrifice
to take up my cross and follow You…all the way.
I offer You my body as a living sacrifice
my spiritual act of worship.
O Holy Spirit!
Make me holy and pleasing to You!
Help me break away from the patterns of this world
transform me, as I renew my mind in Your Word!
so I will be able to test and approve
Your will for my life.
