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.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“The Merarites were appointed to take care of…all its equipment, and everything related to their use…”
(Numbers 3:36)

That last, Jesus, is quite a catch-all:

“…and everything related…” to the tabernacle equipment’s use.

Those kinds of open-ended assignments make me nervous

because all of this is for You!

I’m scared to death I’ll get it wrong

when You deserve to have everything done right.

And then I remember:

So long as I stay 1on1 with You

I can’t fail.
