Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Do not mortals have hard service on earth? Are not their days like those of hired laborers? Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired laborer waiting to be paid, so I have been allotted months of futility, and nights of misery have been assigned to me.”
(Job 7:1-3)

Job was telling the truth, Jesus.

That’s exactly how he felt.

He didn’t know it

but that wasn’t how his story would end.

You restored and blessed him with more than before!

No matter what I’m going through now

I trust the beautiful end You have in store for me!

Pray this Lazaroo in growing awareness:

“From the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin they allotted the previously named towns.”
(1 Chronicles 6:65)

How do I respond when something I thought was mine is taken away, Jesus?

I think they call that stealing.

Last time I checked

the eighth of Your Ten Commandments
says that’s not supposed to happen.

But then You come along and say if someone takes my coat

I should let them have my shirt, too.

It’s just stuff, isn’t it?

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…allotted ten towns…”
(1 Chronicles 6:61)

Why were Kohath’s descendants allotted those ten towns, Jesus?

Because that’s how many they needed.

That perfectly explains why You’ve allotted all my possessions to me.

I sometimes ask for more
and sometimes You give it.

But when You don’t give me more

it’s because I don’t need it.

In fact, sometimes You give me more

to let me discover for myself
that sometimes what I think I want

is too much.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“These were the locations of their settlements allotted as their territory…”
(1 Chronicles 6:54)

The Israelites spread out all over this great land You promised them, Jesus

their territory determined by lot.

But of course, there was nothing accidental about where each tribe landed

because You control the lot.

What feels like “chance” to me

never gets by You.

If the lot isn’t going to fall the way You desire

You intervene.

You’re the non-absentee Landlord

of us all.
