Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in awed humility:

“Then I looked up – and there before me were four horns!”
(Zechariah 1:18)

I’ve had that happen to me, too, Jesus –

looking up to You
praying for Your deliverance
hoping against hope that You’ll rescue me –

and instead being confronted by sharp horns

looking more like Satan
than the God I longed to see.

Gives a person whiplash.

In fact, that’s happened to me so many times that it’s starting to feel like the norm.

I figure out the way I want my life to go
ask You to make it happen

then get shocked
when You handle it in a totally different way.

It’s almost as if You think You know better about what I need in my life than I do.

Almost like You’re God
and I’m not.

What are You saying, here –

that before I make my plans
You want me to check with You

first?
