Lazaroo – Friday, April 9, 2010
No comments, Apr 09, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with outrageous adoration:
“Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you.”
(Deuteronomy 1:13)
Those are the kind of people I want You to set over me, Jesus –
wise
respected
understanding.
Set them under me, next to me and all around me, too.
I can’t do this alone.
Of course, I don’t have to.
I’m never alone.
I have You.
But when You hand out assignments
You tend to give us jobs that require collaboration.
Well, I’m there.
I’ve bit off way more than I can chew.
So I’m right where You want me:
desperately dependent on You
desperately in need of brothers and sisters
who will join me in this You-sized challenge.
You told us it would be this way –
that we could ask You, the Lord of the harvest, to send workers into your field.
I’m asking.
