Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with no-holds-barred surrender:

“The LORD said to Moses and Aaron: ‘The Israelites are to camp around the Tent of Meeting some distance from it, each man under his standard with the banners of his family.’”
(Numbers 2:1-2)

What are my family’s banners, Jesus?

You know my parents and grandparents.
But You know far more than that:

You know my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents, too
not to mention their great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents.

Do I have some awesome men and women in that bunch, LORD?

some people whose genes might pop up at any moment
to lift me to a higher level of impact for Your kingdom?

I’m certain I have some stinkers in that bunch, too.

No doubt that’s where I got some of these sterling qualities
I keep wrestling with, day and night 😉

I’ll take the good “banners” with the bad, LORD…

so long as Your banner over me

is love.
