Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“But you, dear friends, build yourselves up…”
(Jude 1:20)

This isn’t a suggestion, is it, Jesus?

It’s a command.

Apparently, getting spiritually stronger

isn’t something that’s going to happen to me
while I lie back and wait.

I’ve got to hit the spiritual gym:

Studying your Word
Praying
Forsaking my sin
Attending church services
Serving
Sharing my faith

Salvation? That’s free.

All I have to do is believe.

But if I truly believe

I’ve got to get to work.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from dread of the LORD…”
(Isaiah 2:10)

As if, Jesus.

Now, where are we gonna hide?

You made the rocks and the ground on which they lie.

You know the exact location
of every cave, nook, closet, cranny and hidey-hole.

No one’s ever going to hide anything from You…

But there’s no need to dread!

All I have to do is surrender

to become the person You’ve created me to be.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey…to show you the way you should go.”
(Deuteronomy 1:32-33)

Wow.

This simplifies my life, Jesus!

In the past, I’ve tried to guess what lies ahead.

I’ve done research
leaned on my own experience
tapped into the expertise of others.

Results?

Mixed.

Win some…lose some.

A dart board might have been as effective.

But You go ahead of me!

All I have to do
is follow You.
