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.
