Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…the two officials were hanged on a gallows.”
(Esther 2:23)

When it was discovered that these men were plotting to assassinate the king, Jesus

it cost them their lives.

But this was no isolated, meaningless incident.

You used it as one of an amazing series of events
to save the lives of Your people in Persia and Media.

O God! Your greatness continually astounds me.

You are working in literally everything that happens
large or small.

Including this.
Right now.

Be overwhelmed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘…how evil and bitter it is for you when you…have no awe of me,’ declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Awe isn’t an option, Jesus –

not when it comes to You.

When I gaze into the starry nighttime sky or hold a newborn baby

I should be filled with awe over Your amazing creativity
and the miracle of human life.

When I consider my wholly undeserved salvation

I should be overwhelmed in grateful awe for your love and mercy.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“I write to you…”
(Philemon 1:21)

Paul thought he knew who his letter was going to, Jesus

but did You give Him a glimpse that it might be going further –
to be read by billions of people for thousands of years?

Pretty amazing.

You gave Him the words
he conveyed them to Philemon
and You made sure they kept going

all the way to me.

O God!

What are Your plans for the words I speak and write?

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…we are…created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
(Ephesians 2:10)

When I really begin to get hold of this truth, Jesus

it’s an amazing feeling.

You could have set me on planet earth 5,000 years ago.
You could have waited to bring me here 1,000 years from now.

But You didn’t

because You’ve got a whole list of things to accomplish through me

and my time to do them is now.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes-wide-open confidence:

“…kings and rulers of the earth…built for themselves places now lying in ruins…”
(Job 3:14)

That’s the hard, brutal truth, Jesus:

Whatever I build here on earth
will end up in ruins.

Doesn’t matter how well I build
how amazing and compelling my cause
who I thoroughly train to carry on after me.

One day it will crumble.
The day after, people will hardly remember it was there.

Only what I do for, in and through You

will last.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot purpose:

“Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men…”
(Jude 1:14)

That’s nothing short of amazing, Jesus.

I take that back.

For Enoch to precisely foretell what a group of people were going to be, say and do 3,000 years before they walked this earth

is an absolute miracle.

Of course, that should be no surprise.

Enoch was the one you took to heaven
without requiring him to die first.

Teach me to walk with You

as he did.
