Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him…”
(2 Corinthians 2:7)

This wasn’t exactly a petty offense, Jesus.

The man had been having an affair with his stepmother.

Paul ordered them to put him out of the church.

But now, three years later, he tells them the man has learned his lesson. Take him back in!

Some of us don’t get that. We’d vote for permanent expulsion

until, like that man

we get caught in our own ugly sin.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…follow along after the girls.”
(Ruth 2:9)

Good advice, Jesus –

so long as the girls are headed in the right direction
so long as they’re doing the right thing.

In this case, they were…and Ruth was safe.

But sometimes the girls – and guys – are headed straight to the pit.
Sometimes what they’re doing is the wrong thing to do.

Which is why when I follow anyone – man or woman –

I’ve got to be doubly…triply
double-dog certain

they’re following You.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…but not the wisdom of this age…”
(1 Corinthians 2:6)

Every age believes in its own wisdom, Jesus.

We disagree with the way our parents and their generation ran things.

We can’t wait till we’re strong enough
to grab the reins of power and do things our way!

Only with the passage of years do we begin to discover

that many of our parents’ ways
look better and better all the time

and that Your ways are still best.

Tuesday, June 12, 2018

 

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then the LORD raised up judges…”
(Judges 2:16)

When we need judges…

that’s who You raise up, Jesus.

You always provide everyone and everything we need.

Of course, I don’t always know what that is.
Maybe I should say I seldom know what it is.

So when You provide it

I may not recognize it.

I may mope, rage, or fear, wondering why You don’t answer

when in fact Your answer has already arrived
sitting on my front porch.

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened faith:

“They are gossips…”
(Romans 1:29)

I really need Your help with this one, Jesus!

I have a feel for when something is newsworthy.

There’s a tendency in me

to want to blurt out what I know.

But I can’t, can I? I don’t have Your permission!

The only time for me to pass it on
is when it’s truly helpful – not when it’s merely juicy –

lest I sow a poisonous seed
I most assuredly do not want to reap!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…she tied the scarlet cord in the window.”
(Joshua 2:21)

And by that scarlet cord, Jesus

Rahab the prostitute saved hers and her family’s lives
when Joshua destroyed the city of Jericho.

I’m thinking of another scarlet cord, Father –

the blood of Your Son, shed on the cross
paying for the sins of all who believe.

Even less deserving than Rahab

I’m tying that scarlet cord in my window
for You to see when You come for Your own!

Watch! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will show…signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.”
(Acts 2:19)

When I read this prophetic passage, Jesus

it’s hard to ignore the volcanic activity happening
as we speak.

But even though much attention is being paid to these volcanoes –

especially because of social media and their location –
there’s no current increase of volcanic eruptions worldwide.

Which leads me to wonder –

what mammoth displays of Your power are awaiting us
right around the corner?

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Because of you the LORD became angry with me…”
(Deuteronomy 1:37)

Well…not exactly, Jesus.

You didn’t become angry with Moses
because of what the Israelites did.

You became angry with Moses
because of his response to what they did.

Everybody stands before You for their own actions –

not those of someone else –

because we’re all accountable directly to You.

So maybe I’d better focus on my own
thoughts, words, actions

instead of trying to control – or blame – somebody else.

Stay on the edge of your seat as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘We have found the Messiah’ (that is, the Christ).”
(John 1:41)

Did they find You, Jesus…

…or did you find them?

Maybe You helped them find You

because they were looking for You.

That’s who I want to be!

Constantly watching for You, listening for You
eyes wide open, antennae all the way up
hanging on Your every Word.

I don’t want to miss a thing You’re doing

in this world
for those I love
in, through and for me.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding anticipation:

“Moses and Aaron and his sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle…”
(Numbers 3:38)

You situated Moses and Aaron in the perfect place, Jesus –

where they would have constant, direct access to the sanctuary.

And one day – perhaps soon! – as lightning flashes from the east to the west

in fulfillment of Bible prophecy
You will enter the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem

which faces the Mount of Olives –
the most direct route to Your ancient temple mount.
