Pray this Lazaroo in grateful wonder:

“…they sang to the LORD: ‘He is good; his love to Israel endures forever.’”
(Ezra 3:11)

Everybody can sing that first line, Jesus!

But that second line?

Everybody can sing it
but not everybody can identify with it.

Israel is Your treasured possession, Your people chosen above everyone on earth!

Only those descended from Abraham
can personally embrace the promise of that last line

…along with those who, like I
trust in You with the faith of Abraham!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

It’s sure not by my work, Jesus.

Thank You, Holy Spirit!

My work is spotty.

Sometimes pathetic.

Even when I’m having what for me is a pretty obedient day

my track record says it won’t last.

Oh, I intend for it to!

I beg You to make it happen.

But time and again I drop the ball

and come crawling back to You

asking for forgiveness and mercy.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble awareness:

“He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold…”
(2 Chronicles 3:7)

Well…not exactly, Jesus.

Solomon ordered the work done.
It wouldn’t have happened without him.

But he didn’t personally overlay anything.
It was the workers who performed that golden task.

Leaders are essential…

…but so are workers.

Neither can succeed without the other.

Sometimes I’m the leader
sometimes I’m a worker.

But in whichever role I serve You

remind me to respect the other.
