Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the One who’s in charge:

“I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor. There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:15-16)

And that’s how it goes, doesn’t it, Jesus?

None of us is on top forever.
Some of us are on top

never.

People are fickle.
Times change.

But You never do!

I am so thankful that it’s not the crowd
that decides my fate.

It’s You!

Thank God, it’s You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning. The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom. I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:13-15)

What a tragedy, Jesus

that Solomon didn’t apply his own proverb to himself.

Please.

Help me practice what I preach!

Decide to trust, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:19)

Solomon is talking about his successor, Jesus.

Just as he succeeded King David
he knew that one day someone would succeed him.

You gave Solomon unprecedented wisdom

so that’s what he valued.

Would the one who succeeded him be as wise?

No. Not even close.

But so what?

The last thing this world needs

is someone like Solomon who refuses to use
the gifts You give them.
