Pray this Lazaroo with all due diligence:

“Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.”
(Matthew 3:3)

At first glance, Jesus

this doesn’t make sense to me.

I thought You were the one
who made straight paths for me!

But now…maybe I better understand.

You expect me to do everything in my power
to straighten out my own life.

No, I can’t do it without You…

but neither are You going to do everything for a lazy person
who makes absolutely no effort.

Pray this Lazaroo in simple trust:

“…perhaps you will be sheltered…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

As promises go, Jesus

this one leaves more than a little to be desired!

I like the definite promises that begin with words like, “You will!

Those that begin with the word, “perhaps” scare me.

What if I do everything You command

but don’t get what I want?

Oh.

You’re teaching me humility, aren’t You?
You’re also teaching me obedience for its own reward

while leaving the results
in Your loving hands.
