Let realization dawn, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The stones of the wall will cry out…”
(Habakkuk 2:11)

I’m guessing this is poetic language, Jesus

though if anyone can get stones to talk
and understand their language

it’s You!

Still…I’ve entered places for the first time

and felt something I couldn’t define.

Each home, each building has a certain feel, doesn’t it?

Maybe its stones, bricks, plaster, shiplap
are crying out!

If the walls of my home could talk, Father

what would they say about me?

Stand corrected, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“It is decreed…”
(Nahum 2:7)

I can issue decrees all day long, Jesus –

as can every king, president, prime minister, chairman
judge, commissioner, CEO, leader and person on earth.

But not one blessed thing will happen

unless YOU decree it!

Sometimes we get pretty full of ourselves

carried away by our titles, positions, responsibilities
all too often forgetting to Whom we’re responsible:

You.

When we fail to check in with the Boss of all bosses

our puny decrees fall flatter than a flitter.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…it is ruined…”
(Micah 2:10)

I’ve said that about some things, Jesus.

I’ve also said it about some relationships.

But You have a way of taking what I think is totally, irreparably ruined

and either completely restoring it
or replacing it with something far better!

I absolutely love that about You!

No matter what happens

with You, there’s always a New Day.
There’s always hope!

Nothing is beyond Your repair!

Nothing is beyond Your improvement!

Not even me.

Pray this Lazaroo in pure trust:

“The Ninevites believed God.”
(Jonah 3:5)

Every time I take You at Your Word, Jesus…

every time I decide to act on it
every time I follow through with 100% obedience

good things happen!

Well…they don’t just “happen.”

YOU make them happen!

In this case, You sent Jonah to tell the Ninevites that You were going to destroy their city because of their many sins.

When they believed You and repented, however,
You spared them.

O God!
Spare me!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Deliverers will go up…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

Oh, how we need that to happen, Jesus!

Please! Bring it to pass!

Raise up deliverers for our entire world

for our nation
for our churches
for our families
for me.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Do You desire to use me as one of Your deliverers?

Will You call me to go up in behalf of others

even as others are going up in behalf of me?

Now, that is a surprise!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“They…hoard plunder and loot in their fortresses.”
(Amos 3:10)

At first glance, this has nothing to do with me, Jesus.

But on second look, it nails me between the eyes.

The key word is “hoard,” isn’t it?

Could that apply to the things I’ve acquired
that I haven’t used for a long time –

things I’m holding onto “in case” I might need them?
Things I should let go of and share with others

who need them right now?

Wow.
Ouch.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“…mighty are those who obey his command.”
(Joel 2:11)

I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, Jesus

but it doesn’t take a genius to grasp this marvelous truth:

If I want to be mighty
I’ve got to obey You!

Why would I want to be mighty?

Because that’s what it takes
to accomplish what You’ve called me to do.

Because that’s what I need
to be able to thwart Satan’s every malicious attack.

Mighty God!

Help me obey!

Pray this Lazaroo with passionate desire:

“…the LORD has a charge to bring against you…: ‘There is no faithfulness…’”
(Hosea 4:1)

That was the awful situation in Israel, Jesus!

Are we any better today?
I fervently hope so.

But what we call faithfulness

may not be faithful at all in Your eyes –
because You see into our hearts.

How many of the righteous acts I perform are for You

and how many are to make me look good?

O God!

The answer must be:

Zero.

Tuesday, September 22, 2020

 

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I know where you live…”
(Revelation 2:13)

And that’s not all You know, Jesus.

You know everything about me
there is to know.

You know more about me than anyone else.
You know more about me than I know about myself.

Of course, this is why –

when I ask You for something I think I want –
You sometimes have to tell me, “No.”

Because only You know what’s best for me!
Please help me remember that little fact. 😉
