Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone…”
(3 John 1:12)

That’s rare, Jesus.

Some people are highly regarded by most
but to have everyone singing their praises?

Even those who live with them
see them at their worst?

Amazing. Jaw dropping.
Almost unprecedented.

Not even You were well spoken of by everyone.

Because of Your power and purity
many hated You, rejected You
turned against You.

I’d like to be a Demetrius

but I’d rather be hated along with You.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.’ Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the nations and peoples of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.”
(Daniel 3:6-7)

That was a no-brainer for everyone, Jesus.

Well…almost everyone.

There were a handful of Your people
who knew better.

May I always be numbered among that handful!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:3-4)

And so we’re blessed with another uplifting word from Solomon, Jesus.

For somebody so wise
he sure was in a snit of depression.

But he was almost right about one thing:

People in heaven are definitely happier
than those of us still on earth!

Pray this Lazaroo with heightened intensity:

“…be like a gazelle…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

Lover talk, Jesus.

Good stuff. Wow.

But as with most of this fascinating book

there’s a spiritual application too, isn’t there?

I can’t match the gazelle’s 50 mph speed –

almost, but not quite as fast as the cheetah –

which loves to dine on gazelle.

But maybe I can match the gazelle’s intensity

as it attempts to elude its hunter.

O Great God:

Enable me to escape from Satan’s relentless pursuit!
