Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with burning zeal:

“‘In that day,’ declares the LORD, ‘will I not destroy the wise men…?’”
(Obadiah 1:8)

You’re the giver of wisdom, Jesus –

that is…
all true wisdom.

There is a kind of knowledge

that masquerades as wisdom.

It appears to work for a while

but it has no legs
it can’t be sustained
it blows up in the faces of all who follow it.

In the end…

it leads to death.

May I never be deceived by such false wisdom!

May I never attempt to accomplish Your work

with the methods of this world.

The end does not justify the means.

I can’t choose a sinful tool
and expect it to give me a righteous result.

You want, expect, demand

that Your work
be done Your way.

May I never build my house on a foundation of sand

that You will be forced to sweep away.
