Lazaroo – Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Apr 30, 2013 I Lazaroo.
Allow your heart to beat as one with those who have suffered down through history, as you cry aloud to God the words of this Lazaroo:
“Is he to keep on emptying his net, destroying nations without mercy?”
(Habakkuk 1:17)
People have asked You that question for millennia, haven’t they, Jesus?
They’ve screamed it at You
as their old men were martyred
their young men slaughtered in battle
their women raped
their babies dashed against the rocks
as dictators, despots, mad kings and terrorists have seemingly had their way
Ahab
Herod
Nero
Ivan the Terrible
Attila the Hun
Genghis Khan
Stalin
Hitler
Lenin
Mao
Pol Pot
Kim Il-Sung
Idi Amin
Slobodan Milosevic
Saddam Hussein
Osama Bin Laden
Did You permit this to go on forever?
No.
You did not.
To this very moment, your followers are meeting in secret, suffering, imprisoned, losing their lives in
North Korea
Saudi Arabia
Afghanistan
Iraq
Somalia
Iran
Yemen
Syria
Sudan
Nigeria
Pakistan
Ethiopia
Uzbekistan
Libya
Qatar
Vietnam
Will You permit this to go on forever?
No.
You will not.
