Take each step of your life in faith-filled trust, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So Benaiah entered the tent of the Lord and said to Joab, ‘The king says, “Come out!”’ But he answered, ‘No, I will die here.’”
(1 Kings 2:30)

Joab deserved to die, Jesus.

But so do I!
We’ve all sinned against You.

Joab wanted to die in Your tent.

So do I, LORD –
to be ushered into heaven in Your Presence!

I’m not afraid to die.

Just hold me real close
during whatever method You choose to get me there.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
(Ephesians 2:17-18)

The Jews were the insiders, Jesus

the rest of us outsiders.

But You’re the Creator of us all

and in Your love…the Savior of us all!

Because they rejected You, the Jews became outsiders

but one day You will once again draw them

back inside.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Abner called out to Joab, ‘Must the sword devour forever? Don’t you realize that this will end in bitterness? How long before you order your men to stop pursuing their fellow Israelites?’”
(2 Samuel 2:26)

This was the wise plea, Jesus

of a general whose army was being soundly beaten.

There’s a time to keep fighting

and a time to call a halt to the hostilities
when nothing worthwhile is being accomplished.

O Holy Spirit!

Give me Your discernment
to know which is which.

Saturday, May 8, 2021

 

Pray this Lazaroo with Scriptural balance:

“If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker. For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.”
(Galatians 2:18-19)

Paul was being attacked for the message You gave Him, Jesus:

We’re saved by faith in You
not by the things we do.

But You also wanted him to make crystal clear:

What we do for You matters!

And so does our determination to show our love for You

by living holy lives.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“This sin of the young men was very great in the Lord’s sight, for they were treating the Lord’s offering with contempt.”
(1 Samuel 2:17)

We no longer make burnt offerings to You, Jesus.

Today, we give You tithes and offerings.
We offer our services of time and talent to Your Church.

We show love to You by our gifts to the poor
to those who are sick, suffering, grieving.

Let no one treat these precious offerings with contempt!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.”
(2 Corinthians 2:17)

You reward everyone who serves You, Jesus!

Some earn their living serving You and Your people.
Others serve You and Your people without pay

on this earth.

But oh, the untold treasure they’re laying up in heaven!

where moth and rust do not destroy
and strangers, friends, family and the government

cannot steal.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“At mealtime Boaz said to her, ‘Come over here. Have some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar.’ When she sat down with the harvesters, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all she wanted and had some left over.’”
(Ruth 2:14)

Oh, Your incredible generosity, Jesus!

Please help me remember

all the times You’ve given me what I’ve needed
with some left over.

Then show me the best way to share my leftovers

with those who don’t have enough.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.”
(1 Corinthians 2:14)

That explains some of my conversations with non-Christians, Jesus!

Before they can understand the treasures of Your Word
they first have to accept You, the Living Word!

What those You’re calling to Yourself can understand

is the good news of Your death, burial and resurrection out of love for them.

Pray this Lazaroo in eye-opened understanding:

These are the nations the Lord left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience)…”
(Judges 3:1-2)

That answers a ton of questions, Jesus!

I want all my problems to go away.

You, however, want me to become a seasoned warrior.

In my preferred problem-free world

that’s not likely to happen.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God ‘will repay each person according to what they have done.’”
(Romans 2:5-6)

So, Jesus…

people who appear to be getting away scot-free

are just piling up their punishment
higher and higher.

If I’m to be repaid according to what I’ve done

I’d better get busy
doing a whole lot of good!
