Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They are…unfit…”
(Titus 1:16)

My first glance at these unfit people

tempts me to look down on them, Jesus.

Until it hits me: “Unfit?”

So am I.

I’m unfit to receive Your salvation

unfit to be given this much
unfit to be so blessed by You
unfit to be the bearer of Your good news.

And yet

all of these – and so much more! –
are mine.

How dare I look down on anybody?

when I’m the one
who’s unfit.

Pray this Lazaroo with joy:

“He proclaimed a holiday…”
(Esther 2:18)

Well good for him, Jesus!

Kings have the power to do that.

I, on the other hand, can’t just up and declare one of those

no matter how badly I need it.

Wait a minute.

You’re King of kings and LORD of lords.

I’m more than a subject in Your kingdom
I’m Your dearly loved child.

So when You see that I really need a holiday

I know somehow, someway
You’ll proclaim it.

Pray this Lazaroo with a grateful heart:

“…the Lord will give you insight into all this.”
(2 Timothy 2:7)

I’m grateful for every insight You’ve given me, Jesus.

But to think there’s coming a day when You’ll give me insight

into all this?

Wow.

I believe You, but try though I might

my mind can’t fully take it in.

There are so many things I don’t understand

but there’s a perfect, satisfying answer

for now known only to You

which one day with me

You’ll share

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“Hananiah, one of the perfume-makers, made repairs next to that.”
(Nehemiah 3:8)

Question: What’s a perfume-maker doing working on a city wall, Jesus?

Answer: It’s not just any wall.
It’s Your wall, the greatest of all walls

the wall protecting the city of Jerusalem.

It doesn’t matter if I haven’t been formally trained

in what You’ve called me to do.

All I have to be sure of is Your calling

confident that You will qualify me in Your way and time.
