Lazaroo – Saturday, August 28, 2010
Aug 28, 2010 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with never-say-die hope:
“…you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.”
(Galatians 1:13)
It’s true, Jesus.
This man Saul – once one of Your most fanatic enemies –
became one of Your most passionate followers.
He became a totally different person.
They even started calling him by a different name –
“Paul.”
Which means I don’t dare allow myself to give up on the “hard cases” –
those people “everyone knows” will never give their lives to You.
Maybe the reason some of them speak so defiantly against You
is because You’re already at work, deep in their hearts.
They’re screaming at the top of their lungs
in a vain attempt to drown out the mounting evidence of Your truth.
So which of these confirmed atheists, cynics or party animals
would You like me to start praying for?
