Let God blow your mind, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…those who pass by…”
(Micah 2:8)

As improbable as it sounds to a mere human, Jesus

no one simply passes by me.

You orchestrate every one.

I can’t fathom that

because to them and me

we’re walking, driving, riding, flying
wherever we please.

Nope.

It’s wherever You please.

I can disbelieve it, reason against it, attempt to refute it.

Or I can worship Your incomprehensible greatness
in stunned awareness that this is Your world
which You run however You please.

Pray this Lazaroo with Banzai belief:

“…even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them…”
(2 Peter 2:1)

I’m bought and paid for, Jesus!

By asking You to be my Savior
I accepted Your terms:

You gave Your all for me
I agree to give my all for You.

The thing is…

I still sin.
I don’t want to…but I do.

Am I denying Your sovereignty when I succumb to Satan’s temptation?

I fervently hope not!

You haven’t given up on me.
I’ll never give up on You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…even denying the sovereign Lord…”
(2 Peter 2:1)

How can they do that, Jesus?

They’d have to be blind not to recognize You!

Well, yeah.

That’s exactly what they are.

But not just spiritually blind –

also physically, mentally and emotionally –
blind as bats.

Actually, that’s an insult to bats.
They’re blinder.

It’s that word, “sovereign” that gets them, isn’t it?

Says You’re the Boss.

And of course, You Are

which leaves them no alternative
but to squeeze shut their eyes.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…the first lot was for them…”
(1 Chronicles 6:54)

Were the descendants of Aaron lucky, Jesus?

After all, they were casting lots.

No. It wasn’t luck.

Yes, the lot was cast into the priest’s lap
but its every decision came straight from You.

To this very moment, no one says or does anything

unless you order it
or allow it.

That doesn’t remove the responsibility of my free will.

It just reminds me that my will

can’t thwart Yours.

 Pray this Lazaroo in flabbergasted amazement: 

“Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem…”
(Ruth 2:4)

That was no accident, Jesus.

But, then…nothing is.

You’ve given us free will

but while we’re all out here doing what we think we desire
You keep right on orchestrating the whole shebang.

Only You could pull this off –

allowing each of the seven billion people on this planet
to choose our own path

while insuring that every step brings us that much closer

to the exact fulfillment of Your sovereign will.
