Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with laser-focused intensity:

“The word of the LORD came to me.”
(Jeremiah 1:4)

Your Word has come to me, too, Jesus.

Clearly.

Powerfully.

Often.

But I’m not as grateful as I should be.

Some days my Bible lies unopened, gathering dust –

while 500 million of my brothers and sisters worldwide do not even own a Bible.

I take for granted how easy it is for me to attend a church service –

sometimes criticizing the music or sermon! –

while more than 6,600 of the world’s people groups don’t even know what a church service is.

I’m ashamed to admit I’ve stifled a yawn while someone rehashed the familiar words of the gospel –

forgetting that almost three billion people on this planet have yet to hear the good news of Your death, burial and resurrection for the first time.

O God!

Help me do my part

to make sure Your Word comes to others.
