Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Take the Levites for me in place of all the firstborn of the Israelites, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites. I am the Lord.”
(Numbers 3:41)

Yes, You Are LORD, Jesus!

When You struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, you set apart for Yourself every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal, declaring them to be Yours –

just as You are the firstborn of all creation.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.”
(Luke 1:56)

What an awesome time those three months had to be, Jesus!

Your mother Mary, probably 12 or 13 years old
Elizabeth, well over 60

both filled with inexpressible wonder
pregnant because of a miracle
worked by Your heavenly Father.

Each of them faced unique challenges.
They needed each other, didn’t they?

O God!

Please put me with the right people

so we can encourage one another.

Pray this Lazaroo in genuine sorrow:

“…they must bring as their offering for the sin they committed a female goat without defect. They are to lay their hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.”
(Leviticus 4:28-29)

If we had to do this today, Jesus

…there’d be a whole lot less sinning!

Having to look that perfect little female goat in the eye

and realizing I now had to kill her
because of the sin I had committed?

Wow.

Thursday, October 8, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.”
(Mark 2:4)

How many people would have given up, Jesus?

Probably most of them.
They would have said, “Sorry, we can’t get you in.”

But these men risked everything to bring their friend to You!

O God! Make me such a friend!

Pray this Lazaroo armed for battle:

“…you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’”
(Exodus 3:18)

When You meet with me through Your Word and send me on a mission

I have no choice but to obey

even – or especially! –
when the mission is to go to an unbeliever.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: ‘A voice of one calling in the desert…’”
(Matthew 3:3)

More than 700 years before John the Baptist spoke those words, Jesus

You revealed to Your prophet Isaiah that he would speak them!

Who besides You can do that?

No one.

You know what each of us is going to think, say and do

before we have a clue.

No wonder we worship You in reverent awe!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“The woman said, ‘The serpent deceived me, and I ate.’”
(Genesis 3:13)

Who among us cannot identify with those words, Jesus?

Not one.

Every human being on earth old enough to know right from wrong

knows what it is to be deceived by Satan
and to give in to temptation.

I’d do well to remember that my soul has an enemy and a name:

Satan!

So that in the strength of Your superior Name

I can tell him:

“NO!”

Sunday, October 4, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the LORD Loves by marrying the daughter of a foreign god.”
(Malachi 2:11)

What a heartbreak, Jesus!

Jewish men were divorcing their Jewish wives
and marrying idol-worshiping foreign women

in order to gain economic advantage in their trade with other countries.

How could they do such a thing?
These men worshiped an idol of their own, didn’t they?

Money.

May I never – ever! – compromise my walk with You

in order to line my pockets.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The LORD will…again choose Jerusalem.”
(Zechariah 2:12)

It’s devastating to be rejected by You, Jesus!

Of course, that only happens
when we’ve first rejected You.

Justice demands that our rejection of You

should result in our permanent rejection.

But Your mercy triumphs over justice!

When we have been humbled
when we have repented
when we have returned to You with all our hearts

after You have disciplined us less than our sins deserve

oh, hallelujah! You’ll choose us again!

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit.”
(Haggai 2:19)

That’s no accident, is it, Jesus?

It’s an unmistakable pattern that points to You.

Sometimes – for Your own perfect reasons – You keep my life fruitless

to teach…to get my attention…to humble me.

Oh, but I love those words, “Until now!”

When I’ve learned my lesson
when You’ve got my attention
when I’ve been humbled

the fruit will come!
