Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…to present you…free from accusation.”
(Colossians 1:22)

It’s one thing to be clean in Your sight, Jesus.

You know when I’m guilty and when I’m not.

But to think there’s coming a day when I will be free from all accusation –

even coming from those who are accusation specialists?

Wow.

That place must be…heaven! 🙂

But the reality is

the only reason I’m innocent is because You say so –

all my sins eradicated –

by Your sacrifice on the cross.

Exercise Godly judgment, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will go with you…”
(2 Kings 3:7)

That’s a wonderful thing to hear from You, Jesus!

It’s exactly what I should say to You, too.

But it’s something I should say to another human being

only with the greatest caution.

Even those who mean well

sometimes end up in the ditch.

The best way to say it to another person is something like this:

“I’ll go with you if God says
and so long as you’re going with Jesus.”

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…it has been granted to you…”
(Philippians 1:29)

I like to think of myself as somebody who’s earned it, Jesus

a person who works hard to get what I’ve got.

But that’s such a self-delusion!

Everything I have…am…know…do
has been granted.

My very self, life, parents, circumstances, gifts, experiences, emotions –

all are gifts from Your loving, generous hand.

Rather than bragging in self-congratulation

pounding my chest with off-putting pride

I should be humbled – filled to the brim with gratitude.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“You might as well request the kingdom for him…”
(1 Kings 2:22)

All Adonijah asked was to marry this woman, Jesus.

But Solomon knew better.

With that key move

his brother could succeed in overthrowing him.

Like Satan!

He tempts me to compromise in an area that seems harmless
but what he’s doing is getting a toe in the door

then a foot
followed by a leg
until he’s completely inside

intent on overthrowing Your kingdom in my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with a bucketful of gratitude:

“…we are God’s workmanship…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

O Jesus!

How can I ever complain about what I am?
I’m Your invention, Your craftsmanship!

Or is that craftsGodship?! 😉

David said it first:

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”
Please forgive me for those times when I forget that.

Now, I beg You:

Show me why You’ve made me like this!
Reveal to me Your highest purpose

and enable me to fulfill it
to Your eternal glory.

Friday, April 13, 2018

 

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The battle that day was very fierce…”
(2 Samuel 2:17)

I’ve been in some fierce battles myself, Jesus –

though not, I’m sure, of the same kind
as the armies of Joab and Abner.

Still, my battles were a big deal to me.

But even more importantly
I know they were a big deal to You, as well

because You love me.

I can’t tell You how much that means to me, LORD!

Thank You for Your amazing heart
for me.

Pray this Lazaroo…thoughtfully:

“Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles.”
(Galatians 2:12)

If the Apostle Peter can be intimidated by so-called “important” people, Jesus

so can I.

The pressure he felt was so great that he actually sinned against the precious people to whom he had been ministering!

Please, LORD.

Help me keep my eyes so firmly fixed on You
that I will never allow anyone – high or low –

to back me off Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo…in awe:

“…the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s; upon them he has set the world.”
(1 Samuel 2:8)

The world rests upon the foundations of Your unseen power, Jesus –

but not upon the backs of elephants
a huge serpent or a giant turtle

as occurs in the mythologies of Hindu, Chinese and indigenous American peoples.

More than 4,000 years ago You proclaimed through Job:

“He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.”

Pray this Lazaroo in deep appreciation:

“…sufficient for him.”
(2 Corinthians 2:6)

Everything You do for me is sufficient, Jesus!

…not to mention unique.

What’s sufficient for me may not be for someone else.

Thank You for not giving me the one-size-fits-all treatment!

The way You reward me is different from what You do for everyone else.

So is the way You correct me.

But please help me remember that for others, it may be too much…too little…

…or need to be something else entirely.

Monday, April 9, 2018

 

Pray this Lazaroo with watchful eye:

“Watch the field where the men are harvesting…”
(Ruth 2:9)

Ruth was a gleaner, Jesus.

So am I.

She had to wait till the harvesters had gone over the field before she could follow after them and gather what was missed.

So do I.

Countless others have worked in Your harvest field before I came along.

But there are still people who haven’t heard the good news.

I’m watching the field, Father
so I can tell them about You.
