Pray this Lazaroo, in tender response:

“…show me your face…”
(Songs of Songs 2:14)

Solomon made that request of his bride, Jesus

do You make that request of me?

It’s certainly possible.

The Apostle Paul makes it clear that everything written in the past
was put in Your Word to teach us.

So why would You want me to show You my face?

You made me.
You already know what I look like.

Oh.

When I show You my face
I’m intimately focused on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other…”
(1 Peter 1:22)

Okay. Let me see if I’m able to put this together, Jesus:

Obeying Your Word purifies me.
Once purified, I’m able to sincerely love other believers.

Of course, the absence of any of those steps leaves me short.

If I don’t obey Your Word, I’m not pure.
If I’m not pure, I can’t love others – at least…

not sincerely.

Pray this Lazaroo, in awe:

“…the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:16)

Oh, really, Jesus?

Solomon missed it on that one, didn’t he?

He repeatedly tells us that he’s looking at everything

“…under the sun.”

But You’re the God who made the sun!

You’re under it, over it, beside it and all around it –
and a billion trillion other suns besides.

So that’s why we remember Solomon – the wisest man who ever lived –

till You –

nearly 3,000 years later. 😉

Friday, May 4, 2018

 

Pray this Lazaroo with sober assessment:

“…say to the poor man, ‘You stand there…’”
(James 2:3)

Nothing wrong with telling a poor man where to stand, Jesus.
Nothing wrong with telling a rich man where to sit.

But when I tell a man he can have seat because he’s rich
and tell a man he has to stand because he’s poor

I’m in trouble.
With You.

Of course, I don’t believe in disrespect.
I don’t believe in showing favoritism.

Except…am I guilty of doing it?

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the wicked will be cut off from the land…”
(Proverbs 2:22)

Without a land to live in, Jesus

there’s no way to go home.

Of course, before You cut them off

the wicked believe they’re getting away with the evil they’re doing.

They don’t believe there’s a God in heaven who not only sees

but will do something about it.

But when they’re cut off, do they repent?

No.

They blame everyone else and curse You

till their dying breath.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter belief:

“Therefore, holy brothers and sisters…”
(Hebrews 3:1)

My first thought is

You’re not talking to me, Jesus.

If You had started out with, “Therefore, dirty rotten sinners…”

I’d have perked right up:
“Hey! A personal message from God!”

But then I remember:

We’re all dirty rotten sinners.
Every last one of us.

So unless You’re talking to Your imaginary friends

then by Your grace alone –
because of my sin debt You eradicated on the cross

You’re talking to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Declare them guilty, O God!”
(Psalms 5:10)

David didn’t pray this prayer over people who’ve merely slipped, Jesus.

When I run into one of those, I beg You to forgive them,
pick them up, teach them, give them another chance.

After all…that’s what You keep doing for me.

But David has run into a few pathological liars

whose souls are wicked to the core.

He knows the heartbreak, ugliness and devastation that bunch can cause

…and so do You.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…refresh my heart…”
(Philemon 1:20)

Life can get wearisome, Father.

Please don’t misunderstand!
I don’t take it for granted.

I have no question that millions right now

are begging You to give them a few more days of it.

But I know You know

that what I say is true.

You walked this earth for 33 years, Jesus.

You know how much it means
when someone refreshes Your weary heart

as I need to do for someone
right now.

(Job 3:19)

The grave is the ultimate leveler, Jesus

claiming presidents, popes and paupers
cheaters, preachers, cowards and heroes
mothers, nuns and prostitutes
billionaires and bums

and oh, yeah – me

unless You come for Your Church first.

I don’t want to die.

But millions who’ve gone before me
felt the same.

I don’t get to choose.

You’ve already chosen it for me.

My only comfort is this:

I know You’ve chosen well.
