Thursday, January 27, 2022

 

Pray this Lazaroo with overwhelming gratitude:

“Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.”
(Galatians 3:1)

They hadn’t seen you crucified, Jesus

anymore than I have.

But a faithful preacher of Your Word made it so clear to them

that it was as if they had been there on that fateful day
looking up at You on the cross

as have I.

So, no more excuses. Nothing else is needed.

You died for me!

That’s all the motivation I need

to live for You

Take warning! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. So he said to them, ‘Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours.’”
(1 Samuel 2:22-23)

Eli rebuked his sons, Jesus

but it stopped there.

He failed to restrain them

which cost Eli and his sons their lives.

Pray this Lazaroo with hot anticipation:

“Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?”
(2 Corinthians 3:7-8)

So no more looking back with envy, Jesus!

Yes, You did marvelous things long ago!

Hallelujah!

But by faith I declare to the skies:

Your best is yet to come!

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“’The Lord bless him!’ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law. ‘He has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead.’”
(Ruth 2:20)

No, You haven’t, Jesus –

nor will You ever!

Because the so-called righteous “dead”
are alive in heaven with You!

What a thrill it will be for me one day in heaven

when I am by Your side
looking down in grateful amazement
on the unending stream of blessings
You are showering on those I love.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.”
(1 Corinthians 3:5-7)

Oh, Jesus.

Thank You for the teachers You’ve given me.

But I’m relying on You alone

to make me grow!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel. Getting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.
(Judges 3:12-13)

Jericho – the City of Palms, Jesus!

Barely 30 years after You sent those walls tumbling down
giving Joshua a great victory

Israel’s sin took it away from them!

Please, LORD –

Help me learn my lessons

and never forget.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves…They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.”
(Romans 2:14-15)

I have the law, Jesus –

along with the prophets, gospels and epistles.

But I don’t want to depend solely on my conscience to apply them.

I’m relying on You, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo with unwavering trust:

“…as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap. So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them.”
(Joshua 3:13-14)

It’s that first step of obedience, isn’t it, Jesus!

It’s hard – especially when it’s counterintuitive

politically incorrect.

But if by faith I take that step

amazing things will happen!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’ Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
(Acts 2:34-36)

 

You’re the one who ascended into heaven, Jesus!

But only after –

in the greatest display of love
this world has ever known –

You gave Your life for me on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything. So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir.”
(Deuteronomy 2:7-8)

Thank You, Jesus, for watching over my journey through my own vast wilderness.

And yes…

from time to time

it’s been necessary to move on

past some of my relatives! 😉
