Pray this Lazaroo with a pure, humble heart:

“…you flood the LORD’s altar with tears.”
(Malachi 2:13)

There are tears, Jesus…

and then there are tears.

There are those who cry because they’re angry

or because of what they’ve lost.

Some are able to manufacture fake tears

in order to manipulate the tenderhearted and gullible.

Others sob in their punishment because they’ve been caught –

not because they’re sorry they did it.

But when I flood Your altar with tears

may it be in sincere, heartfelt repentance.

Pray this Lazaroo with a learning heart:

“King Solomon was told that Joab had fled to the tent of the Lord and was beside the altar. Then Solomon ordered Benaiah son of Jehoiada, ‘Go, strike him down!’”
(1 Kings 2:29)

Joab was a powerful man, Jesus – the head of Israel’s army.

Solomon’s father David had tried to remove him, to no avail.
So he counseled his son Solomon to do it.

How did Solomon succeed when his father couldn’t?

You. Only You.
It was Your time.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“He shall burn all the fat on the altar…”
(Leviticus 4:26)

Just as You commanded the priest to offer an animal on the altar, Jesus

so You invite me to offer myself to You as a living sacrifice
holy and pleasing in Your sight.

As I do, please enable me to burn up all the fat!

By that, I mean those things I’m doing that are unhealthy –

physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually –

whatever is cheating me out of Your best.
