Let your thoughts run deep, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“When anyone came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten.”
(Haggai 2:16)

That’s the definition of disappointment, Jesus:

Expect a lot
get a little

think I’m about to receive something nice
discover it’s not nearly as good as I thought

eagerly anticipate
only to have my hopes dashed.

In a very real sense

that’s life on earth
jinxed by sin.

But this one exception I’ve discovered:

When I reach for You
You surpass all my expectations.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Those who cling to worthless idols…”
(Jonah 2:8)

But why would anyone do that, Jesus?

It’s because of their temporary pleasures, isn’t it?

Emphasis on the temporary
‘cause they sure don’t last.

Too, it’s because of their false promises, isn’t it?

They can’t deliver on their boasts.
There’s always a deadly twist.

Not so with You, Father!

The pleasure of following faithfully after You
grows with each passing year

while You keep and surpass
every one of Your promises.
