Lazaroo – Wednesday, January 20, 2010
No comments, Jan 20, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in holy fear:
“Look at the nations and watch – and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.”
(Habakkuk 1:5)
I love that You’re like this, Jesus!
We human beings think we understand the way life works. We
read a little bit of history
listen to the opinions of others
try to keep up with what’s going on
take stock of the things that have happened in our own lives
then draw our conclusions
solemnly announcing our predictions
with a high degree of confidence.
We think we – or at least the “smart” people among us – have it pretty well figured out.
Then You show up in power!
In a moment, You
thwart our plans
change all the rules
shatter our expectations
and drop us to our knees, humbled
in worship.
