Lazaroo – Thursday, March 18, 2010
No comments, Mar 18, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with over-the-top trust:
“At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.”
(Daniel 1:15)
Wow, LORD.
These young men refused to compromise Your dietary laws.
They challenged their guard to put Your ways to the test –
and You backed them up!
Hallelujah!
No, my faith doesn’t rest on sight –
if it did, it wouldn’t be faith.
Time and again You call me to trust Your Word alone
to go for days…weeks…months…years…decades
in some cases, for the rest of my life
without the kind of proof I can touch, see, smell, taste or hear.
Fair enough.
Your promise alone is more than enough.
But I confess that I absolutely love it, Jesus
when in Your perfect way and time
You part the heavens
and show the world what You can do.
