Lazaroo – Wednesday, July 1, 2009
4 comments, Jul 01, 2009
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with explosive feeling:
“The pastures of the shepherds dry up…”
(Amos 1:2)
I know what that feels like, Jesus.
To run out of resources.
To run out of time.
To run out of ideas.
And all of it beyond my control.
But not beyond Yours!
Thank God.
Not beyond Yours.
You can show me the resources I’ve overlooked.
Or bring new ones to me.
Or create them out of nothing.
You’re never out of time.
You’re above it.
Unbound by it.
You can manipulate time however You like.
You have something better than ideas. You have –
plans
insights
breakthroughs
revelations
Next time this shepherd’s pasture runs dry…
…please help me remember I am also a sheep…
…who has a Shepherd…
…whose resources are inexhaustible.
