Friday, July 14, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.”
(Ephesians 3:13)

It’s hard not to be discouraged by suffering, Jesus

especially when it’s happening to me, personally.

But that wasn’t why Paul was suffering.

He was suffering for others!

O God.

Grow me up in my faith.
Give me Paul’s compassion for others!

Correction: That’s not Paul’s compassion.

That kind of compassion
comes straight from You

proven 2,000 years ago
on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Moses, Aaron and the leaders of the community counted the Kohathites by their clans and families. All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting, counted by clans, were 2,750. This was the total of all those in the Kohathite clans who served at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the Lord’s command through Moses.”
(Numbers 4:34-37)

You instruct us to count Your people, Jesus

because people count.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate indignation:

“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!”
(Habakkuk 2:15)

They were doing that 2,600 years ago, Jesus

and they’re still doing it today.

But this isn’t merely about drunkenness, nudity and voyeurism, is it?

In that case, we might think it doesn’t apply to us.

This is about taking advantage of someone.

Now that…

may hit a little closer home.

Pray this Lazaroo in up-close-and-personal faith:

“…keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
(Joshua 3:4)

You gave them a dramatic illustration of Your absolute holiness, Jesus –

unapproachable by sinful human beings.

If they carelessly drew any closer

or dared to reach out and touch the ark itself

they would die.

Oh, how different now!

HALLELUJAH!

At your death the temple curtain that blocked us from entering Your Presence

was torn in two, from top to bottom!

Thursday, January 16, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“He will be called a Nazarene.”
(Matthew 2:23)

To us all these years later, that sounds like a compliment, Jesus.

Thousands of churches worldwide proudly bear that name.

But that wasn’t the case 2,000 years ago.

When Philip told Nathanael that’s what you were called
Nathanael’s reaction says it all:

“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?”

But Philip’s response was perfect:

“Come and see.”

When I run into a doubter

that’s still the perfect response.
You never disappoint.

Pray this Lazaroo in unshakable faith:

“…my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…”
(Luke 1:47)

So does mine, Jesus!

2,000 years ago Your followers thought all was lost
because they saw You crucified, dead, buried.

This in spite of the fact that You told them in advance this would happen
and that on the third day You would be raised from the dead.

Then they saw You, ate with You, touched You

and believed!

I’ve done none of those things…yet.

But by faith

I will.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“For there is…one mediator between God and mankind…”
(1 Timothy 2:5)

Once upon a time, Job cried:

“If only there were someone to mediate between us
someone to bring us together
someone to remove God’s rod from me
so that his terror would frighten me no more.
Then I would speak up without fear of him…”

You heard Job’s prayer, Jesus –

the cry of every heart.

From the cross more than 2,000 years later You answered it –

with Yourself.
