Lazaroo – Thursday, May 24, 2012
May 24, 2012 I Lazaroo.
Draw courage from God, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:
“Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day.”
(Ezekiel 2:3)
What if this was my assignment, Jesus?
Would I be up to the challenge?
You didn’t send Ezekiel to one person.
You sent him to an entire nation.
The message You gave him to deliver wasn’t going to be a popular one.
It was so unwelcome that it could have gotten him killed.
These people weren’t on the verge of turning it around, either.
They were passionately set in their evil ways.
Their rebellion had been going on for generations.
What were the odds of Ezekiel’s success?
That’s an irrelevant question, isn’t it?
You wanted only one thing from Ezekiel:
Be faithful to deliver Your message.
Which is exactly what You expect of me.
