Pray this Lazaroo in abject humility:

“A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet…‘Lord, I have heard of your fame…’”
(Habakkuk 3:1-2)

Habakkuk isn’t the only one, Jesus.

So have I.

I’ve read the Bible. Marveled at Your miracles.

You’re All-Powerful.
There’s nothing You can’t do.

But I’ve also discovered the hard way:

I can’t make You grant me a miracle

just because I desperately want it

just because I believe

I absolutely have to have it.

That You know better than I do

is also part of Your fame.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful adoration:

“…in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
(Proverbs 3:6)

I do acknowledge You, Jesus.

But that’s not what the verse says.

I’m to acknowledge You in all my ways.

Only then do You promise to make my paths straight.

To acknowledge You isn’t merely to give You lip service, either.

It’s to admit that You’re the only one who knows.

It’s to confess that I can’t truly fulfill my purpose on earth

without You.

Rejoice! as you pray your Lazaroo on this glorious Christmas day:

“…boasting of what we have and do…”
(1 John 2:16)

Why do we do that, Jesus?

Everything we have or do comes from You!

Better question:

Why do I do that?

Because – God help me! – I do.

I guess it’s because I want people to think well of me.

But why? I’m nothing but a dirty, rotten sinner saved by grace.

Your outrageous, inconceivable love

is the only reason my punishment in hell
has been switched to eternal joy in heaven.
