Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:15)

It didn’t make any difference, Jesus –

whether it was something Paul wrote
or what they heard him say.

Their job was to stand firm and hold fast!

I didn’t get to hear what Paul said.

But I’m pretty sure it sounded a whole lot like what he wrote. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in amazed admiration:

“For the Most Holy Place he made a pair of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold. The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the other cherub.”
(2 Chronicles 3:10-11)

Solomon had his artisans create stunning figures, Jesus – encompassing 35 feet in all!

May I, too, offer You my very best!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“The wrath of God has come upon them at last.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)

I’m not asking You to punish anyone, Jesus!

Not even those who’ve hurt me the most.

The reason is simple:

I’ve sinned against You so many times.
You’ve forgiven and blessed me times beyond counting.

How dare I ask You to treat them worse
than in Your mercy You’ve treated me?

But for those who deliberately flaunt You without sorrow or regret?

Their day is coming.

Pray this Lazaroo in abject gratitude:

“The descendants of Manasseh: Asriel was his descendant through his Aramean concubine. She gave birth to Makir the father of Gilead.
(1 Chronicles 7:14)

It would have been nice if Asriel had been born to a Jewish woman, Jesus

rather than an Aramean.

It would have been nice if she had been a wife, rather than a concubine.

But you didn’t discard their entire line!
You turned them into captains and great fighters.

Thank You for Your amazing, forgiving mercy!

Let the goose bumps multiply, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations…”
(Colossians 1:26)

You revealed so much to Your kings and prophets, Jesus –

to Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Isaiah –

but You saved some of Your best stuff for Your Church.

For me.

Everything You did in the past was pointing to this!

May I never be jealous of what they had back then, Father.
Because today – with You in me and I in You –

I’m livin’ the dream.

“Elisha said to the king of Israel, ‘Why do you want to involve me? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother.’ ‘No,’ the king of Israel answered, ‘because it was the Lord who called us three kings together to deliver us into the hands of Moab.’”
(2 Kings 3:13)

Israel’s king was unfaithful to You, Jesus.

Only when he’s in trouble does He turn to You.

Many people do the same!

May I never be one of them.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.”
(Philippians 2:2)

My mind is different from everyone else’s Jesus.

But You don’t command us to be identical.
You’re urging us to be alike.

When my love for You

is shared by my brothers and sisters

when my spirit of openness to all You desire
is matched by their passionate attitudes

being of one mind is the happy result.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah though not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the Lord and took hold of the horns of the altar.”
(1 Kings 2:28)

When he sided with David against Absalom, Jesus

Joab chose well the first time.

But when he threw in his lot with Adonijah against Solomon

that was his undoing.

What was his mistake?

Depending on his own calculations
instead of checking to see who You had chosen.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations.”
(Ephesians 2:14-15)

What two groups, Jesus?

The Jews and everybody else –

brought together by faith in You, their Messiah.

When You died on the cross and rose from the grave three days later

You replaced the demands of the law…

with Yourself.
