Tuesday, June 5, 2018

 

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.”
(Luke 1:48)

Historians might wonder why Mary was chosen to be Your mother, Jesus

but Mary didn’t.

She immediately knew: It was her humble state.

Did that mean she was poor?
In part, yes.

But it was so much more.

She didn’t dip in and out of humility as she followed You.
That was her state – who she was all the time.

And so it must be mine.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“It is a sin offering.”
(Leviticus 4:24)

The goat had to die, Jesus

because of the leader’s sin.

You no longer give us that command.

Your death on the cross
pays for our sins in full.

Your resurrection

proves You have the power and authority
to forgive every sin.

But how many of Your people have ended up scapegoats

for their leader’s sin?

O God!

Give us leaders after Your own heart
full of compassion for Your people.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…spreading the news.”
(Mark 1:45)

There are times I need to keep my mouth shut, Jesus.

Specifically, when You tell me to!

You told this man You cured of leprosy to tell no one –

knowing that if He did, the religious leaders would seek Your death.

But you place no such restriction on us today.

Just the opposite!

You’ve told us to go into the whole world
and preach Your good news.

Which means:

You’ve issued that command
to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.”
(Exodus 3:15)

It’s not the only Name we call You, Jesus…Yeshua…Messiah…Savior…

Abba…Adonai…Creator…El Shaddai…Alpha and Omega…
Father…Son…Holy Spirit…LORD…God –

but it’s the one that says it all:

I AM.

You’re…Always.

Without beginning.
Without end.

No wonder I worship You!

No wonder I praise You for everything good
call on You when I’m in distress!

No wonder I desire deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship with You!

You ARE.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”
(Matthew 2:20)

Your Father sent that angel to Joseph, Jesus

to let him know the coast was clear to take You back.

Of course, Your Heavenly Father is also

the one who cleared the coast!

The murderous King Herod

was taken out.

I serve the Almighty God who can not only let me know when it’s safe to move

but do whatever it takes
to clear the path.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…they realized they were naked; so they sowed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.”
(Genesis 3:7)

That’s what happens every time I sin, Jesus.

First the shame
then the cover-up.

Sin must be covered

because it’s so foul!

I could attempt to cover my sin

with lies, excuses, misdirection
trying to change the subject –

all for naught.

The only way sin can ever be covered

is by sincere repentance
trusting in Your shed blood on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“So I have caused you to be…humiliated…”
(Malachi 2:9)

No one can do a better job of that than You, Jesus.

When others try to humiliate me, they fail –
unless they have Your go-ahead.

They don’t know me well enough to thoroughly humiliate me.

But You do.

If I mistake Your blessings to suppose that I’m better than everyone else

You can diminish me to a speck of dirt
faster than I can pound my chest a second time.

Pray this Lazaroo in sober contemplation:

“…their slaves will plunder them.”
(Zechariah 2:9)

Well, now…

wouldn’t that be a stunning comeuppance, Jesus!

But it’s happened.

And it’ll happen again.

Those I’ve ruled over

can absolutely end up ruling over me.

The only way to avoid that is to be the kind of person You want me to be

when I’m on top.

At the very least, I’ll be sowing the kind of good seed I’ll long to reap

if I ever end up on bottom.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“I struck all the work of your hands with…mildew…”
(Haggai 2:17)

I hate mildew, Jesus –

that smelly, fungal invasion that leaches onto
my clothing, leather, paper – even the ceilings, walls and floors
of my home.

Mildew forms in dank, dark places, hidden away from fresh air and sunlight.

O God! Bring the fresh air of Your Word into my life.

And may the cleansing radiance of Your sun shine

…on every pocket of infestation
that needs to be eradicated.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Gather together, gather together…”
(Zephaniah 2:10)

When You say it once, I’ve got to pay attention and obey, Jesus.

But when You say it twice?

Whew! I need to get out my highlighter
and bump it up to the top of my agenda.

What are You saying to me through Your prophet Zephaniah?

They quit turning to You for counsel, direction and help, didn’t they? –
turning instead to others they trusted more.

Message received and recorded.
Loud and clear.
