Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“The Merarites were appointed to take care of…all its equipment…”
(Numbers 3:36)

How would it feel to have that assignment, Jesus?

This was no piece of cake job.

The Israelites were homeless in the wilderness.

The moment You told them to move, they had to pack up.

When you told them to stop

it was time to set up all over again…
…and again…and again…

So I’m not surprised to find that my assignment

is no piece of cake either.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
(Luke 1:45)

You always fulfill Your promises, Jesus –

but in Your way and time.

When my schedule conflicts with Yours

I’m tempted to think it’s never going to happen.

When my way of doing it blinds me to Your superior plan

I can totally miss what You’re up to.

O God!

Help me rest in the certainty of Your promises
with eyes that see.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect.”
(Leviticus 4:23)

You have a purpose for everything, Jesus!

The goat had to be male because You revealed Yourself on earth as a man.

The goat had to be without defect
because You deserve only our best.

But there’s another reason:

You lived 33 years on this earth and never sinned.
Not once.

That made You the Ultimate Perfect Sacrifice for the sins of the world

including me.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing…”
(Mark 1:44)

Back in the day, Your people offered many sacrifices, Jesus.

It was the blood of the animals
that made atonement for Your people’s sins.

But those sacrifices could never cleanse a sinner’s conscience, could they?

Only Your sacrifice on the cross could do that.

No wonder when John the Baptist saw you coming, he said:

“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

Pray this Lazaroo with discernment:

“I AM has sent me to you.”
(Exodus 3:14)

I’m leery, Jesus…

when somebody walks up and says:
“God told me to tell you…”

A percentage of those people are unstable.

Others who talk like that are self-deluded.
Still others are manipulative charlatans.

But the thing is, there’s always the possibility

that one of them could be telling the truth.

Whatever anyone says has to be backed up by Your Word

and confirmed within me
by You, Holy Spirit.

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute trust:

“After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph…”
(Matthew 2:19)

Your mom, Joseph and You had to sit tight, Jesus

until Your Heavenly Father removed the man
who wanted to kill You.

Then Your angel showed up.

In a dream.

That couldn’t have been an ordinary dream!

or Joseph wouldn’t have trusted it.

How will I know if You send an angel to me?

I don’t have to worry, do I?
I’ll know.

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened acknowledgment:

“She also gave some to her husband…and he ate it.”
(Genesis 3:6)

Which of them can I blame for committing the first sin, Jesus?

Was it Eve?

After all, she bit first.

Was it Adam?

You created him first.
He should have known better.

Or was it the serpent?

Because nobody was sinning until he showed up.

The answer has to be: “All of the above.”

Each of them is fully responsible for their disobedient actions

as am I.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…you…by your teaching have caused many to stumble…”
(Malachi 2:8)

Teachers are so important – to every one of us, Jesus!

But if teachers can’t be trusted…

if they twist the knowledge they share
if they mislead the trusting, the naïve, the ignorant

everyone who sits under them
is at risk.

True, those who blindly follow their teachers share the blame.

But the teacher who deliberately sticks out a foot to trip them
is at the greatest risk of all.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…he has…sent me against the nations that have plundered you…”
(Zechariah 2:8)

I love knowing this about You, Jesus –

that You send Your mighty angel
against those who have attacked Your people.

As I think back about it, that explains a lot.

Wow.

Some will look at what has happened to them as mere coincidence.

I know better.

You watch. You listen. You know.

When someone comes after us, You don’t just take note.
You do something about it.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“When anyone went to a wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty.”
(Haggai 2:16)

No expectation is more false, Jesus

than when we think we can thumb our noses at You
without consequences.

What throws us off is Your patience with us.

You seldom punish us right away, as we so richly deserve.
You give us time – so much time! –

to repent and turn it around.

How much better to go expecting 50 measures

and find 1000.
