Lazaroo – Thursday, August 20, 2009

No comments, Aug 20, 2009

Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in excuseless humility:

“The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.”
(Ecclesiastes 1:8)

You know Solomon was depressed when he uttered these words, Jesus. To him, everything was “wearisome, more than one can say.”

But these are Your words, as well.

You have a way of speaking truth through us in spite of our foul moods.

Again and again – as You did when You fed thousands with one boy’s lunch –

You take our “not enough” and make it “more than enough.”

Do that now in me, using Solomon’s discouraged words:

May my eyes never have enough –

of seeing You turn certain loss into stunning gain!

May my ears never have their fill –

of hearing an unending stream of Your people testify to Your outrageous grace!

And one day may I – the least of them all –

add my wholly undeserved stories of jaw-dropping triumph

to theirs.
