Friday, April 30, 2021

 

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.”
(Acts 2:28)

That’s when I am filled with joy, Jesus!

In Your Presence.

When I’m not filled with joy

the first place for me to check

is to see if I’m still following Your paths –

the only way to life!

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred

You’re not the one who left me.

I’m the one who left You.

Be forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you; they chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down from Seir all the way to Hormah. You came back and wept before the Lord, but he paid no attention to your weeping and turned a deaf ear to you.”
(Deuteronomy 1:44-45)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus

but there comes a day when I will ignore You for the last time.

And then…God help me!

You’ll ignore me.

Wednesday, April 28, 2021

 

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Jesus said, ‘You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.’ He then added, ‘Very truly I tell you, you will see “heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on” the Son of Man.’”
(John 1:50-51)

We always set our sights too low, Jesus!

Partly, that’s because of our lack of belief.

But the other reason is because we can’t begin to imagine

the unlimited possibilities that exist in You!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites, collect five shekels for each one…Give the money…to Aaron and his sons.”
(Numbers 3:46-48)

So, Jesus –

each family had to buy back from You every firstborn
or that child would enter Your full-time service –

a practice that helped fund the priesthood.

Regardless of what I do for a living today or in the future

I don’t want to be bought back.
I want to belong full-time to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, but his mother spoke up and said, ‘No! He is to be called John.’”
(Luke 1:59-60)

Her husband’s lack of belief had already cost them both, Jesus.

Elizabeth wasn’t about to make the same mistake.

You had told them their son’s name was to be John.

So John is what she named him.

May I obey You

with that same conviction!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“If someone brings a lamb as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect. They are to lay their hand on its head and slaughter it for a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.”
(Leviticus 4:32-33)

What an awful and powerful reminder

of the seriousness of my sin, Jesus!

That an innocent little lamb had to die because of what I did!

Especially because I don’t have to sin.

Great God Almighty!

Help me stop it!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, ‘Why are you thinking these things?’”
(Mark 2:8)

I’ve wondered the same thing about my own thoughts, Jesus!

“Why am I thinking these things?”

I don’t ask that when my thoughts are pure

when I’m thinking about things that honor You.

I ask it when my thoughts are evil and disobedient to You.

Purify my thoughts, O God!

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.”
(Exodus 3:21)

You’re amazing, Jesus.

Not only do You steer the hearts of kings like a watercourse
wherever You please

but You do the same thing with every single one of us
whenever it’s best.

Absolutely nothing can thwart Your plan of the ages!

Do we have free will?

Most of the time, yes.

Except when You say otherwise.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“In those days John the Baptist came…People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.”
(Matthew 3:1, 4-5)

That amazing response was all You, Jesus!

John did his part, for sure.
He preached and baptized.

But You’re the one who brought the crowds.
You’re the one who caused them to confess and repent.

Every time that happens it’s You!

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
(Genesis 3:11)

You had just asked the ultimate rhetorical question, Jesus.

Obviously, You knew he had eaten from the tree you told him not to.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have bothered him to be without clothing.
Just as obviously, he knew You knew.

What do I do when You nail me off-base through Your Word?

Do I excuse myself…

…or confess and repent?
