Lazaroo – Friday, August 28, 2009

No comments, Aug 28, 2009

Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with outrageous adoration:

“How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations!”
(Lamentations 1:1)

Sometimes I forget, Jesus.

The world wasn’t always this way.

Not so long ago

the countries we now look down on with scorn
were the most feared kingdoms on earth

the most powerful nations of today
didn’t even exist.

Nor is it a mystery why the mighty have fallen.

Some of them

ignored You
mocked You
turned their backs on You

or simply forgot to acknowledge You.

But You rule the nations!

You raise them up to accomplish Your purposes
then bring them down low when their hearts grow proud –
even while they blindly pound their chests with overweening pride.

O, LORD!

May we who cry out to You when we are small, defenseless and helpless

refuse to forget You

after You have stooped so low to make us great.
