Take warning! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. So he said to them, ‘Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours.’”
(1 Samuel 2:22-23)

Eli rebuked his sons, Jesus

but it stopped there.

He failed to restrain them

which cost Eli and his sons their lives.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…the two officials were hanged on a gallows.”
(Esther 2:23)

When it was discovered that these men were plotting to assassinate the king, Jesus

it cost them their lives.

But this was no isolated, meaningless incident.

You used it as one of an amazing series of events
to save the lives of Your people in Persia and Media.

O God! Your greatness continually astounds me.

You are working in literally everything that happens
large or small.

Including this.
Right now.

Enlarge your perspective, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“King Solomon answered his mother, ‘Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah?’”
(1 Kings 2:22)

Solomon was appalled at his mother’s request, Jesus.

Had he granted it, it would have cost them their lives.

So why did she make such a foolish request?

One possibility: She wasn’t thinking.

But of course, that can’t be true.

She was thinking about one very small part
of a much larger picture

which, embarrassingly,

is what I do all day long.
