Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone…”
(3 John 1:12)

That’s rare, Jesus.

Some people are highly regarded by most
but to have everyone singing their praises?

Even those who live with them
see them at their worst?

Amazing. Jaw dropping.
Almost unprecedented.

Not even You were well spoken of by everyone.

Because of Your power and purity
many hated You, rejected You
turned against You.

I’d like to be a Demetrius

but I’d rather be hated along with You.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo, trusting God’s design:

“This too is meaningless.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

Yes it was, Jesus…

…and no, it wasn’t.

Meaningless to Solomon?

Sure. He was stuck with what he could see.

Because You had given him unprecedented wisdom

he supposed that if he couldn’t figure it out

there was nothing to it.

But meaningless to You?

No, no, never-never, huh-uh, uh!

Every person, plant, animal, behavior, event and substance

on or off this earth

has meaning to You!

Because You do nothing without purpose.
