Lazaroo – Wednesday, March 9, 2011

Mar 09, 2011 I Lazaroo.


Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with unwavering trust in Your God:

“Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, who remained among them; but they did subject them to forced labor.”
(Judges 1:30)

I don’t like living with Plan B, Jesus.

It’s hard to get motivated about working on second-best.

It’s much more exciting to think I’m pursuing the ultimate

for Your kingdom
for the people I love
for me.

But the truth is

I’m so flawed
so broken
so subject to error
so pockmarked by inconsistency

that I’ve had to live with Plan B all my life.

Don’t even get me started on Plans C, D and E.

But having said that

I can’t deny there’s something ennobling
about giving my all for You

in this hole I’ve dug for myself.

Still…

I don’t like living with Plan B.

Except…

wouldn’t it be just like You if Plan B…

turned out to be Plan A?
