Grasp it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.”
(Proverbs 3:34-35)

Much of my society has this reversed, Jesus.

They think proud mockers are strong, successful.
They envy them, aspire to be like them.

But the wise among us know better.

Today, their humility has brought them oppression

but tomorrow, eternal honor awaits!

If and when I’m forced to choose –

to have it today or have it tomorrow –

I choose forever in heaven with You!

Embrace God’s priority as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
(Titus 2:4-5)

That’s my goal, isn’t it, Jesus?

Not to get my way.
Not to impress people.
Not to be successful.

My life’s goal is to honor You in such a way

that no one will malign Your holy Word!

Pray this Lazaroo in trembling expectation:

“…you have destroyed lands…”
(Habakkuk 2:8)

The more successful and prosperous we become, Jesus

the more of Your lands we destroy.

We pile our refuse in great, ugly heaps to rot in the sun

sending their stench into Your heavens.

We pipe our poisons into Your lakes, rivers and oceans

thereby polluting Your earth when we water our fields

and drink.

We call this progress.

But there is coming a day when You will arise and declare:

“Enough!”
