Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: [who]…made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.”
(Philippians 2:5, 7-8)

Wow, Jesus.

You didn’t have to do that!

In fact, You shouldn’t have.
Not for the likes of me.

But You did!

You lowered Yourself for a person who couldn’t get any lower

because You love me

and want to lift me up higher
than I could ever imagine.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…the king sent for Shimei and said…‘The day you leave and cross the Kidron Valley, you can be sure you will die; your blood will be on your own head.’ Shimei answered the king, ‘What you say is good. Your servant will do as my lord the king has said.’”
(1 Kings 2:36-38)

King David told Solomon to execute Shimei, Jesus.

But in Your wisdom
Solomon gave Shimei
one way to save his life.

Oh, how I need Your amazing wisdom!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery of Christ…has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.”
(Ephesians 3:4-6)

This is stunning news, Jesus!

For eons, the Jews alone were Your chosen people.

But now, everyone who trusts in You

through Your death, burial and resurrection

belongs to You!

But even better –

You belong to them!

Heed the warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, ‘Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?’…he answered…’This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven’t handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offense involving this woman!’”
(2 Samuel 3:7-8)

Yeah, Jesus.

I want to be certain that I have all the facts
before I accuse someone of wrongdoing.

If all I have is hearsay and circumstantial evidence
I’d better keep my mouth shut.

Pray this Lazaroo with straightened priorities:

“I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?”
(Galatians 3:2)

If there was ever a rhetorical question, Jesus

this is it.

Paul knew the answer!

He devoted his entire life to sharing the good news
that while no one is good enough to earn heaven
You paid our sin debt with Your life on the cross

for all who truly believe.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“‘…the report…spreading among the…people is not good. If one person sins against another, God may mediate for the offender; but if anyone sins against the Lord, who will intercede for them?’ His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke, for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death.”
(1 Samuel 2:24-25)

Eli tried to correct his sons, Jesus…

but You knew their hearts were wicked to the core.
No amount of talk was going to deter them.

That…explains a lot.

Friday, April 1, 2022

 

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
(2 Corinthians 3:9-11)

The ”good old days” can’t compare with these, Jesus.

I’m exactly where I need to be:

doing what You’ve called me to do
being who You’ve called me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“That man is our close relative; he is one of our guardian-redeemers.”
(Ruth 2:20)

What an awesome gift You gave Your people, Jesus –

a guardian-redeemer

a close relative they could turn to for help –
someone willing and able to do extraordinary things
to rescue them from impossible circumstances.

You’re my guardian-redeemer!

With Your own life on the cross
You bought me back from the clutches of Satan.

I’m Yours for life!

There’s no one else
whose I’d rather be.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.”
(1 Corinthians 3:8-9)

Doesn’t matter where I serve in Your Church, Jesus –

up front or behind the scenes –

our purpose is the same:

We’re serving You!

Since I’m Your field

make me productive!

Since I’m Your building

make me welcoming
for those who need shelter.

Tuesday, March 29, 2022

 

Pray this Lazaroo in instant obedience:

“The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab for eighteen years. Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer—Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera the Benjamite.”
(Judges 3:14-15)

I don’t get it, Jesus.

Why did it take them so long to figure out
that You were the only one who could deliver them?

But as soon as I say that, it hits me:

You’re probably asking me the same question.
