Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.”
(Isaiah 1:7)

O Jesus.

Don’t let me read this and think it’s about somebody else somewhere else.

No country is so strong, so rich, so wise, so influential

that this can’t happen within its borders

if Your people turn against You.

Are our churches packed with people who are coming to faith in You

experiencing a deep, daily, moment-by-moment relationship with You
that empowers us to live out the faith we profess?

Are we breaking out of our church buildings to proclaim Your Word

in the streets of our cities
the states of our nation

the countries of our world?

Or are our churches becoming self-congratulatory social clubs

that will bring down Your wrath on this land

in utter desolation?
