Pray this Lazaroo in deep gratitude:

“What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well…You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.”
(Exodus 4:14-16)

When I can’t do what You’ve told me to do, Jesus

You always provide someone –

or something –

to help me.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Aaron and his sons are to go into the sanctuary and assign to each man his work and what he is to carry. But the Kohathites must not go in to look at the holy things, even for a moment, or they will die.”
(Numbers 4:19-20)

There are some things that are off-limits for me, too, Jesus.

Please.
Show me what they are.

May I never desire

what You haven’t given me.

You’ve already given me

far more than I deserve!

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered awareness:

“After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move, only then are the Kohathites to come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or they will die.”
(Numbers 4:15)

When the oxen stumbled and Uzzah took hold of the Ark of The Covenant

You struck him down, Jesus
and he died.

When it comes to Your holy things, You don’t mess around!

Neither should I.

Pray this Lazaroo with new awareness:

“This is the work of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting: the care of the most holy things. When the camp is to move, Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain and put it over the ark of the covenant law.”
(Numbers 4:4-5)

What are the holy things I am to care for, Jesus?

Is it possible that I don’t recognize what is truly holy?

Teach me, LORD!

May I view what is around me

through Your eyes.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites, collect five shekels for each one…Give the money…to Aaron and his sons.”
(Numbers 3:46-48)

So, Jesus –

each family had to buy back from You every firstborn
or that child would enter Your full-time service –

a practice that helped fund the priesthood.

Regardless of what I do for a living today or in the future

I don’t want to be bought back.
I want to belong full-time to You!

Pray this Lazaroo in deep appreciation:

“…Moses and Aaron…”
(Numbers 3:39)

They were quite a team, Jesus!

You spoke to Moses

who spoke to Aaron

who spoke to the people.

Moses felt inadequate

so You sent him Aaron.

I, too, feel inadequate.

Nor is it merely a feeling.
It’s the truth.

Who will You send to me?

Oh. Right.

I’m surrounded by these precious, sent people!

And if in the future I need anyone else

in Your perfect way and time

they will appear.

Pray this Lazaroo in soul-deep gratitude:

“…the descendants of Aaron were given…their pasturelands.”
(1 Chronicles 6:57)

It’s great to have houses in cities, Jesus

…but oh, those pasturelands!

wide-open expanses of grass and wildflowers

where a breath of sweet fresh air can be deeply inhaled
where livestock can graze on Your bounty.

I don’t have to own pasturelands to thoroughly enjoy them.

Their beauty is available to all who pass by
reminding us that whether we worked to acquire them or not

they’re still a gift.

Pray this Lazaroo brimming with expectation:

“…toward the sunrise…”
(Numbers 3:38)

That’s where You told Moses and Aaron and his sons to camp, Jesus –

toward the sunrise.

It’s a great place to camp for me, too.

I love the beauty of sunsets
the golden glow they cast over the landscape.

But there’s sadness, there, too
because I know it will soon be dark.

With the sunrise, however, I have more time to do something!

…with what You’ve placed in my heart.

Encamp me toward the sunrise!

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“These were the descendants of Aaron…”
(1 Chronicles 6:50)

Aaron’s long gone from this life, Jesus –

as are the descendants who came after him.

So, when I’m long gone –

who will be my descendants?

I hope they won’t be limited to my natural family!

I long for spiritual descendants –

those who grew up in my household
and those whose feet never crossed my threshold

who grasped the torch I handed them

and carried it all the way for You.
