Pray this Lazaroo in chastened humility:

“Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become ‘fools’ so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: ‘He catches the wise in their craftiness’ ; and again, ‘The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.’”
(1 Corinthians 3:18-20)

So let me get this straight, Jesus:

If I brag that I’m “so wise…”

I might actually be a –

Got it.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, ‘He must be relieving himself in the inner room of the palace.’ They waited to the point of embarrassment, but when he did not open the doors of the room, they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their lord fallen to the floor, dead.”
(Judges 3:24-25)

When You step in, Jesus

You make it happen –

even if it makes the rest of us

look like fools.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted dedication:

“Like the fool, the wise too must die!”
(Ecclesiastes 2:16)

Solomon’s right, Jesus.

But the death of the fool who says You don’t exist
is radically different from the death of the wise person

who knows You do –
and trusts You as Savior!

In fact, it’s the wise person who is most aware that death is coming.

Fools do their best to ignore their mortality
living each day for themselves, rather than for You.

Big…big…BIG mistake.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“The fate of the fool will overtake me also…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

In one sense that’s true, Jesus.

Fools die.
So will I.

But thanks to You

I don’t have to be a fool!

If I’m a fool now

I don’t have to remain one.

The fool denies You.

I worship You.

The fool ignores Your Word

I embrace it.

The fool can’t be told, corrected or taught.

I beg You to shape, lead and mold me
into Your likeness.

Go to school, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The fate of the fool will overtake me also…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

Solomon’s right, Jesus:

Just as the person who foolishly disbelieves in you
will one day breathe their last on this earth

so will those who believe in You with all their hearts.

But Solomon was also wrong:

Unlike the unbelieving fool
every believer who closes their eyes here

will open them in heaven.

Sadly, as he grew older, Solomon disobeyed You.

May I not follow his foolish example.

Pray this Lazaroo in thrilled anticipation:

“…the same fate overtakes them both.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:14)

That’s the way it looks to us down here under the sun, Jesus.

No matter how gifted and successful the wise person
no matter how evil and irresponsible the fool

both die.

Meaningless.
Depressing.

But that’s not how the story ends!

Thanks to what You did for me on the cross

my life on this earth is the first word
in the first chapter

of an adventure that has no end.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate transparency:

“…the fool walks in the darkness…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:14)

I’ve taken more than one of those dark walks, Jesus

Didn’t enjoy it.
Felt like the fool I was.

I don’t want to do that anymore!

With every step I take, I long to walk in Your Light.
I long to see clearly, act wisely.

But only You can rescue me from the wrong choices that will inevitably shroud my path in the blindness known all too well

by God-ignoring fools.

Beg God for understanding, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever…He gives…knowledge to the discerning.”
(Daniel 2:20-21)

At first glance this hardly seems fair, Jesus.

Discerning people already possess significant knowledge.
Why load them up with more?

Is it because the more You give a discerning person

the more they do with it?

On the other hand…

even when You inundate a foolish person with countless blessings
all they do is ignore, disrespect or squander them.

Which am I?
