“Lazarus – Yes, But Later, N’est-ce pas?”
Rise up now or down the road?
Rise up, leave behind your load?
Are the benefits delayed?
Whose reward now we have played?“All of mine is yours, my son”
Said the father to that one
Who hung in, just hoed the row
(Other son said, “Off I go”).We’re hung up on great rewards –
Like that game, we move towards
Definition of good life –
Money, fame, and joy not strife.Then we want our chosen things –
“First to get his list, then wins”;
But there’d better be reward,
“We deserve it – Gimme, Lord”.It’s more grace, God’s help for us –
Solid ground amidst the fuss;
Bad starts cleaned up; new life now;
Interaction mine – that’s how –I was wired – encourager –
Andrew Murray’s right – “Hey, sir!
Prayer dynamics are the key,
Plug them in if you’d be free”.Resurrection is a way –
Great rewards have part to play;
I chose “Doing one of those”,
When He asked – and Goodness knows –That, for me, is balm indeed;
How and where, which target need,
Secondary are to me –
Harvest now the planted seed.Lord, I thank You for Your life,
Poured into our lives as light
To our paths, as we press on,
Now that all the rest is gone.Thanks Lord for this.
