Lazaroo – Saturday, January 30, 2010
No comments, Jan 30, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with humble honesty:
“But the angel said to him: ‘Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.’”
(Luke 1:13)
Oh, Jesus.
I would love to have You answer my prayers the way You answered Zechariah’s:
Your angel spelled out exactly what was going to happen
to whom it was going to happen –
and even gave him the boy’s name!
Now, I know I absolutely do not deserve that kind of “messenger” service.
But I desperately long for that kind of clarity.
I ache to know that what I am doing with my one and only life is not
sorta
kinda
maybe
in the general vicinity of Your will.
I have to know I am doing precisely what You have put me on this earth to do.
Please, Jesus!
Show me.
