Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in maturing understanding:

“Where can we go?”
(Deuteronomy 1:28)

Good question, Jesus.

Let me personalize it even further:

“Where can I go?”

I have to know that.

I don’t want to go where I don’t belong.

Oh, sure –

sometimes I see the assignment You’ve handed out to someone else and become envious.

I wish You had given that one to me!

But down deep, I know better

because You know better.

The reason their assignment looks so good is because You tailor-made it for them.

If You had issued it to me

it would rub me raw
hang on me like a cheap suit.

Besides, the work they’re doing looks good only from a distance.

Behind the scenes

up close

they’re struggling as much as I am.

But I feel something else just as strongly:

I don’t want to miss one square inch of the precious territory

You’ve assigned to me.
