Lazaroo – Friday, August 7, 2009
No comments, Aug 07, 2009
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, from the depths of your soul:
“All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right.”
(2 Thessalonians 1:5)
Everywhere I look I see evidence, Jesus.
Your judgment is right.
Of course, I don’t always recognize the evidence I see.
Sometimes the nicest people seem forced to get by on so little
until I remember the worries that come with possessions.
Sometimes You appear to give evil people riches, pleasure and long life
until I realize where they end up.
Sometimes I’m baffled by the “premature” death of a good person
until I discover that You did it to spare them from evil.
Sometimes the work I am doing for You backfires, or doesn’t seem to pay off.
until I remember that my treasure is in heaven
and no one can
ever
ever
ever
take it away.
