Pray this Lazaroo in patient confidence:

“In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies. He says to himself, ‘Nothing will ever shake me.’ He swears, ‘No one will ever do me harm.’”
(Psalm 10:4-6)

From a distance, Jesus

that’s the way it seems.

While the righteous suffer

it looks like the wicked are doing just fine.

But You’ve made it clear:

Their day is coming.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence. The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.”
(Proverbs 3:31-33)

From a distance, Jesus…

it’s easy to believe evil people
are getting away with it.

But You’ve given Your Word:

They’re not!

You alone are my hope for a great life on this earth

…and beyond.

Think again!…as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Do not execute the wise men of Babylon.”
(Daniel 2:24)

Daniel was pleading for the lives of heathens Jesus.

But he had to!

…because he was being lumped in with the very men
the king had ordered to be executed.

From a distance, Daniel could have been accused

of backing the wrong crowd.

But when I know the whole story

it makes perfect sense.

How often is that the case, Father?

How seldom do I know

the whole story?

Pray this Lazaroo with caution:

“…he clung to the sins of Jeroboam…he did not turn away from them.”
(2 Kings 3:3)

There are a lot of bad examples out there, Jesus

some of which appear to work.

From a distance.
Short term.

However, I have Your word on it:

Sooner or later they will fail.
Every last one of them.

So why would I want to follow anyone’s bad example over the cliff?

Might be a good idea to turn away.
While I can.

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt gratitude:

“…you were redeemed from the empty way of life…”
(1 Peter 1:18)

I can’t thank You enough for that, Jesus!

Satan sure knows how to throw a party

from a distance.

In the beginning, it feels like his way

is the most exciting
the most glamorous

until I stay for the second act

and discover how desperately empty

it really is

realizing whatever I have to do, I don’t want to stick around

for the third

and final

act.
