Lazaroo – Monday, January 11, 2010
Jan 11, 2010 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with sober judgment:
“So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.”
(Daniel 1:14)
Would I pass such a test, Jesus?
Actually, it’s not “would I,” is it?
It’s “will I?”
Ten days…30 days…six months…a year…
no matter.
Every day is a test.
Will I –
start my day with You?
do what I know to do?
say “No!” to temptation?
choose the good over the bad?
choose the best over the good?
stay in contact moment-by-moment with You?
love the people You’ve put in my life?
pay the prices I need to pay?
focus on what matters?
walk my talk?
finish my day with You?
There’s nothing I can do about yesterday’s test.
Good or bad, it’s over.
Done.
Gone forever.
But this slice of time between now and the moment my eyes close in sleep
is a new, clean, fresh opportunity
a gift from You
to pass the test.
