Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“If we disown him, he will also disown us…”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

I will never do that, Jesus!

I want You, I need You, I love You
I have to have You!

You’re my only hope for a good life on this earth.

You’re my only hope for eternal life in heaven.
I’m sure not going to qualify on my own!

Why would anyone disown You, Jesus?

They’ve bought Satan’s lies, haven’t they?
And it’s costing them everything.

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting anticipation:

“…by the King’s Garden…”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

King’s Gardens are pretty close to the best gardens on earth, Jesus.

They have nearly unlimited funds to build them
the ability to incorporate the most exotic of plants
access to the most skilled gardening experts
their choice of the richest soil in the most desirable land.

But no earthly king’s garden can begin to compare

to the lavish, unimaginably stunning garden of your delights

that awaits my breathtaking arrival in heaven!

Saturday, August 29, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I also want women to dress modestly…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

You want men to do the same, don’t You, Jesus?

Wow. Even the way we dress matters to You!

Please help me remember that every time I select an article of clothing:

“Is this pleasing to You, LORD?
Or do You prefer I wear something else?”

Some people would think that’s going too far with this 1on1 with Jesus thing, wouldn’t they?

But You don’t.

So neither do I.

Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-given awareness:

“…they saw the foundation of this temple being laid…”
(Ezra 3:12)

How many times have I tried to start something, build something, do something, Jesus…

without properly considering the absolute importance
of laying a deep, strong, solid foundation?

Buildings without good foundations can’t withstand powerful storms.

Neither can projects, missions, businesses, families

lives.

While I’m in such a hurry to get started, I’m tempted to ignore the storms that will come.

But that’s a lethal mistake.
Because they will.

Pray this Lazaroo in abject repentence:

“…stand firm…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:15)

Is there any other way to stand, Jesus?

Sadly, yes.

Have I ever been wishy-washy in my stand for You, LORD?

speaking up for You some of the time
but not in others?

Have I ever been timid in my stand for You?

fearful, squeamish, unconfident.

Have I ever been absent in my stand for You?

failing to show up.

If so, O God! Forgive me!

May I from this moment forward

stand firm.

Prioritize! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The gold nails weighed fifty shekels.”
(2 Chronicles 3:9)

Even the nails of the Most Holy Place in Your temple were gold, Jesus!

Some would consider this wasteful.

But they’re wrong!

You are worthy of the best we have –
for all of it comes from You.

How dare we skimp on anything we offer to You!

Of course, even our best isn’t good enough for You!

My best isn’t good enough for You!
But may I never give less.

Pray this Lazaroo in courageous wisdom:

“…their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)

That’s a sure sign of demonic activity, isn’t it, Jesus?

When somebody actively tries to stop me from telling people about You

I need to rebuke Satan and redouble my efforts to share the gospel!

Of course, if they’re not trying to stop me from witnessing

but merely coaching me to be wiser in how I approach others

maybe I need to listen! 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Some of the Kohathite clans were given as their territory towns from the tribe of Ephraim.”
(1 Chronicles 6:66)

Of course, the Kohathites were one of the four main divisions among the Levites, Jesus.

They took care of the vessels and objects within Your sanctuary.

As with the other Levites, although You gave them cities within the other tribes of Israel

You didn’t give the Kohathites land of their own.

You were their inheritance –

as You are mine!

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed resolve:

“I have become its servant by the commission God gave me…”
(Colossians 1:25)

You’ve also given me a commission, Jesus!

I’m supposed to share Your good news
with those who don’t yet know You.

I like what everybody thinks St. Francis of Assisi had to say about that:

Preach the gospel at all times.
If necessary, use words.

Of course, Francis didn’t say that – but still, it reminds me:

My words have power
only if backed up by my life.
