Lazaroo – Wednesday, July 21, 2010
Jul 21, 2010 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with deep humility:
“This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you…”
(1 John 1:5)
That’s the way I long for it to be, Jesus.
First, I want to hear directly from You
through Your Word
by the Holy Spirit
speaking to my heart
through Your people
in my innermost being
by Your orchestration of worldwide events
solidly reconfirmed by Your holy Word.
Only then –
when I’m absolutely confident I’ve heard from You –
am I ready to share Your promptings with others.
But with humility –
knowing that for all my confidence
You’re God
and I’m not.
Never let me lead anyone astray!
May I always walk softly before You.
May I always be quick to listen
and slow to speak.
May I maintain a spirit that is eager to be corrected when anyone –
whether small or great –
can show me my error
by the light of Your Word.
