Pray this Lazaroo with humbled caution:

“Do you not realize that a commander and a great man has fallen in Israel this day? And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah are too strong for me. May the Lord repay the evildoer according to his evil deeds!”
(2 Samuel 3:38-39)

Even a king has limitations, Jesus.

His top general was a huge help…

but also a murderer –

too strong for David to remove.

Sometimes You saddle me with a problem person

because I need the good they also do!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“But you, dear friends…”
(Jude 1:20)

You’re teaching by contrast, aren’t You, Jesus?

First, You describe the behavior of those who sin against You
then You show me how someone who loves You –

and who is loved by You –

behaves.

It’s supposed to give me the incentive I need to do what’s right.

As You can tell:

It’s working! 😉

Great God in Heaven, I beg You:

May it keep working this day, the next day and the next –

all the way Home.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…from this day on…”
(Haggai 2:15)

That’s all I can do, Jesus –

“from this day on.”

Although I can learn from it

I can’t change the past

Although I can anticipate it

I can’t jump ahead to tomorrow.

Not yet.

If anything is going to change it has to start

with this day.

It’s tempting to put it off till tomorrow.

But if I do, this day
becomes that day

otherwise known as procrastination

because that day
seldom comes.
