Lazaroo – Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Mar 19, 2014 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, overwhelmed with gratitude:
“I will betroth you in righteousness and justice…”
(Hosea 2:19)
A betrothal.
A promise to marry.
Millennia ago, You betrothed Your people to You, Jesus.
You kept Your promise.
They didn’t keep theirs.
But Your promise still stands –
for everyone who trusts You with everything –
life
liberty
health
choices
hopes
circumstances
eternity.
You’ve fulfilled Your promise for me, LORD!
I belong to You.
You betrothed me in righteousness and justice –
not in my righteousness
Yours.
Not in any justice I deserve
but through Your death on the cross
in my place.
