Lazaroo – Thursday, March 25, 2010
No comments, Mar 25, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in solemn trust:
“All her idols will be broken to pieces; all her temple gifts will be burned with fire; I will destroy all her images.”
(Micah 1:7)
I already know You don’t want me to put anything – or anyone – before You, Jesus.
To do that is to create an idol –
a detestable thing in Your sight.
But this warning from Your prophet Micah helps.
Seeing what You will do
to every idol I worship ahead of You
to every gift belonging to You that I give instead to somebody else
to every image I set in front of my face that mars or blocks my focus on You
reminds me:
I don’t want to go there.
When You tell me I’m to have no other gods before You
You’re not just making a suggestion.
You’re giving me fair warning:
If I don’t do something about it
You will.
