Pray this Lazaroo with immediate correction:

“All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt. All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not.”
(Joshua 5:4-5)

Why do I put off doing the right thing, Jesus?

Why don’t I instantly obey?

It’s a spirit of rebellion, isn’t it?

Disguising my disobedience behind:

“Yes, I’m going to do it…but not right now.”

Away with that ugly sin, LORD!

This very moment: I choose You!

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered understanding:

“…if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

That explains so much, Jesus –

why some people instantly respond to the good news about You
and others in the same room at the same time reject Your love.

With everything in me:

Thank You for lifting the veil from my mind!

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 chastened humility:

“Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become ‘fools’ so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: ‘He catches the wise in their craftiness’ ; and again, ‘The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.’”
(1 Corinthians 3:18-20)

So let me get this straight, Jesus:

If I brag that I’m “so wise…”

I might actually be a –

Got it.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting…Assign to each man the specific things he is to carry.”
(Numbers 4:30, 32)

They had to carry the frames of the tabernacle, Jesus –

along with its crossbars, posts and bases.

They had to carry the posts of the surrounding courtyard

with their bases, tent pegs, ropes, all their equipment
and everything related to their use.

Show me, LORD

what You’ve assigned to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: ‘Take a census of the Kohathite branch of the Levites by their clans and families. Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.’”
(Numbers 4:1-3)

Did you not know how many Levites there were, Jesus?

Of course You did.
You told them to count so they would know.

That happens a lot, doesn’t it?

Thanks.
I appreciate it!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads…”
(Ezra 3:12)

The world doesn’t look the same to all of us, does it, Jesus?

My age and level of responsibility
significantly affect how I see what’s happening.

There’s a danger with that, isn’t there?

At each stage of life I’m tempted
to think my perspective is superior to others’.

In some instances, that may be true.

But show me how much of the time
it’s nothing but self-centered delusion.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“…will become my people.”
(Zechariah 2:11)

There are two kinds of people walking this earth, Jesus:

Your people
and those who are not Your people.

It doesn’t have anything to do with sex, age, size, skin color, intelligence, nationality, denomination or religiosity.

The difference between heaven and hell is belief in You –

that You are God come to this earth as a man
that You died on the cross for our sins
and on the third day rose again.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…but not the wisdom of this age…”
(1 Corinthians 2:6)

Every age believes in its own wisdom, Jesus.

We disagree with the way our parents and their generation ran things.

We can’t wait till we’re strong enough
to grab the reins of power and do things our way!

Only with the passage of years do we begin to discover

that many of our parents’ ways
look better and better all the time

and that Your ways are still best.
