Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…I will give you…both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”
(1 Kings 3:13-14)

In spite of Your amazing promises to him

Solomon strayed, Jesus.

How is that even possible?

I guess the same way I stray
in spite of all Your amazing promises to me.

Please rise up within me
to break this terrible cycle!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles…”
(Jonah 3:7)

That’s what kings do, don’t they, Jesus?

They issue decrees.
They make sweeping statements that become the laws of the land.

They rely on a cadre of experts who advise them
or rubber stamp whatever they say.

I’m no such king.

I’ve never issued a decree –
at least not one anyone paid much attention to.

But I do have one request:

Direct the decrees of people in power
who affect the lives of those I love.

Stand corrected, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“It is decreed…”
(Nahum 2:7)

I can issue decrees all day long, Jesus –

as can every king, president, prime minister, chairman
judge, commissioner, CEO, leader and person on earth.

But not one blessed thing will happen

unless YOU decree it!

Sometimes we get pretty full of ourselves

carried away by our titles, positions, responsibilities
all too often forgetting to Whom we’re responsible:

You.

When we fail to check in with the Boss of all bosses

our puny decrees fall flatter than a flitter.
