Sunday, February 28, 2021

 

Pray this Lazaroo in appreciative wonder:

“May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”
(Ruth 2:13)

Hope. Gratitude. Humility.

No wonder You chose this woman
to be Your great-great-many times removed grandmother, Jesus!

She wasn’t even a Jew.

She was one of the hated Moabites!

No matter.

You chose her!

Just as You have chosen me.

Pray this Lazaroo with spiritual eyes wide open:

“This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.”
(1 Corinthians 2:13)

There’s a constant battle, isn’t there, Jesus? –

between human wisdom
and the wisdom that comes only from You.

Human wisdom – along with its deceptions and limitations – 

is all around me.

But Your wisdom is in Your Word…

through Your Scripturally faithful teachers…

and in me!

HALLELUJAH!

God grant me supernatural discernment!

Let it sink in, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their ancestors did.”
(Judges 2:22)

That explains a whole lot, Jesus!

You sometimes bring – or allow –
difficult, even evil people to enter my life

to test me!

You’re teaching me to overcome the temptation
to cast aside my faith in You and do wrong.

It’s pretty hard to teach me that

if I never run into any opposition.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?”
(Romans 2:4)

I can’t keep on sinning, can I, Jesus?

Yes, You’re loving, merciful, longsuffering, forgiving…

but that doesn’t mean You wouldn’t harm a flea.

You’re also powerful, majestic, holy, righteous!

You will not forever tolerate willful sin.

Help me overcome my sin

so I can live the New Life

You purchased for me on the cross!

Pray this Lazaroo in up-close-and-personal faith:

“…keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
(Joshua 3:4)

You gave them a dramatic illustration of Your absolute holiness, Jesus –

unapproachable by sinful human beings.

If they carelessly drew any closer

or dared to reach out and touch the ark itself

they would die.

Oh, how different now!

HALLELUJAH!

At your death the temple curtain that blocked us from entering Your Presence

was torn in two, from top to bottom!

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant expectation:

“Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay.”
(Acts 2:26-27)

Those words of David were fulfilled in You, Jesus!

You were unjustly crucified to pay for the sins of all who believe
then rose from the dead on the third day!

And because You live forever

so will I!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable persistence:

“So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the Lord’s command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country.”
(Deuteronomy 1:43)

I know how Moses feels, Jesus

well…just a little.

I’ve shared warnings You’ve shared with me

only to have people ignore me

and even worse, ignore You!

But just when I start to climb up on my soap box of holier-than-thou

You remind me of times

when I’ve ignored Your warning.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Then Nathanael declared, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.’”
(John 1:49)

I’ve had moments like that too, Jesus!

When You’ve done something for me that never could have happened

had You not answered my fervent prayers.

Of course, when I testify about Your provision to others

not all of them are convinced.
In their minds, some attempt to explain it away.

But I know.

And You know.

And that’s all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord also said to Moses, ‘Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites are to be mine. I am the Lord.’”
(Numbers 3:44-45)

How incredibly special it was to be a Levite, Jesus!

That had to make them feel so close to You –
because they belonged to You.

Though not a Levite, I’ve put my faith in You –

which means lock, stock and barrel:

I’m Yours!
