Lazaroo – Thursday, November 1, 2012
1 comment, Nov 01, 2012
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud – determined to prove God right:
“…the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom…”
(1 Corinthians 1:25)
You do a lot of things that look foolish, Jesus…
at first.
Things like –
allowing Your enemies to frame and crucify You
…until You rose in triumph on the third day
trusting a tiny handful of Your flawed followers
to take Your gospel to the whole world…
…until, after 2,000 years of love, faithfulness and sacrifice
there are two billion people who claim You as Savior –
and counting…
allowing doubters, haters, atheists, agnostics
to ridicule You and Your Word
…until facts, science and world events
keep proving You 100% right
giving an habitual offender another chance…
…until he stuns everyone with his turnaround
calling me – of all people! – to put my trust in You
patiently enduring my sins and mistakes beyond counting
…until I finally grow up
quit messing around
and once again…prove You right.
