Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with over-the-top trust:

“I will save them—not by bow, sword or battle, or by horses and horsemen, but by the LORD their God.”
(Hosea 1:7)

I know it doesn’t always work this way, Jesus.

Sometimes You are quite happy to save us by working through our

bows
battles
horses
swords
horsemen

or…through my

family
friends
doctors
education
experience

But sometimes You use none of these. Why? Maybe because they’re just not

fast enough
wise enough
close enough
strong enough

At other times it may be because

I’ve become dependent on them…

…instead of You.

Forgive me for those times – all too often! – when I forget that no matter what You use or through whom You work…

it’s all You.

Most of all, thank You for every single time You’ve saved me!

Including those times when Your hand was invisible…

…and I didn’t even know I needed to be saved.
