Monday, December 28, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…every man stopped when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.”
(2 Samuel 2:23)

There’s death everywhere on the battlefield, Jesus.

Why stop over Asahel’s body?
Because he was General Joab’s brother.

Not only the prominent – but everyone’s death matters to You!

It should to me

especially because it raises the most important question of all:

“Did they go to heaven or hell?”

The answer? Heaven –

but only if they had put their trust in You.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.”
(Galatians 2:16)

I keep forgetting this, Jesus!

Should I obey You?
Absolutely!

But You don’t want me living in fear when I sin

as though my place in heaven with You is in jeopardy.

Do I believe in You with all my heart?

Yes!!!

Then…

I’m in.

Ask God to do it again, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the person who was sacrificing, ‘Give the priest some meat to roast; he won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.’”
(1 Samuel 2:15)

That was in blatant disregard to Your command, Jesus!

The people knew it…but they couldn’t do anything about it.

So You removed those who were abusing their power

and replaced them with Samuel
who obeyed You with all his heart.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.”
(2 Corinthians 2:14)

I’m Your willing captive, Jesus!

I surrender all.

March me anywhere You like.

Use me in any way You desire.

Do with me whatever You please.

I say this because I’ve learned the hard way:

You alone know what’s best.

Your way?

An aromatic fragrance.

My way?

A putrid stench.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
(Ruth 2:12)

Under Your wings, Jesus!

That’s the only place I want to live.

I don’t want anything You don’t want me to have.
I have no desire to do anything You don’t want me to do.
I refuse to go anywhere You don’t want me to go.

Wednesday, December 23, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.”
(1 Corinthians 2:12)

So, Jesus:

You’re telling me that people who have only the spirit of the world
can’t understand what You’ve freely given those who trust You.

That makes sense.

It also explains the blank stares I get from those tied to this world

when I tell them about You.

Tuesday, December 22, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with fierce determination:

“Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and said, ‘Because this nation has violated the covenant I ordained for their ancestors and has not listened to me, I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.’”
(Judges 2:20-21)

That explains some things, Jesus –

about what happened to Israel
and what could happen to me.

May I keep Your covenant of love and listen to You!

so that You drive out every enemy
Satan sends against me.

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened love:

“Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?”
(Romans 2:2-3)

It’s not that I sometimes blow it and have to repent, Jesus.

It’s when I harshly judge others who do the same things.

That’s what really upsets you.

I’m sorry.
Please help me stop doing that!

Pray this Lazaroo filled with enormous comfort:

“When you see the ark…follow it. Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before.”
(Joshua 3:3-4)

Sometimes I wish I had a visible ark to follow, Jesus

so I’d know which way to go
since I’ve never been this way before.

But I have something better!

I have You, Holy Spirit!

You’re here, inside me.

If I truly listen for Your inner prompting

I’ll know my next step

which is all I need to know.
