Pray this Lazaroo in holy, grateful fear:

“Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.”
(Zechariah 3:3)

Not exactly the attire you want to be wearing in front of an angel, Jesus.

On second thought, You’ve assigned an angel to me

which means he’s seen me with and without
every piece of clothing I’ve ever owned.

It’s a little unnerving

to realize in this room with me right now
could be the invisible, protective presence
of someone so powerful

but incredibly comforting.

Be encouraged and corrected, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this against you…”
(Revelation 2:18-20)

You’re the Ultimate Encourager, Jesus!

But when there’s something I’m doing wrong, please tell me.

I want to know.

Take warning! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…God did not spare angels when they sinned…”
(2 Peter 2:4)

They had it all, didn’t they, Jesus?

They were with You in heaven!
They saw You, heard You, served You!

But then along came Satan

perhaps the most amazing of all the angels
who looked in the mirror one too many times
and let his pride get the better of him.

One-third of the angels bought into his lies.

May I never follow their horrific example.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…he carved cherubim on the walls.”
(2 Chronicles 3:7)

Sounds beautiful, Jesus.

Had to be impressive.

But give me the real cherubim – Your holy angels! – any day.

Your Hebrew Name Yahweh Saoboth means:

“God of the Angels”

Although they do most of their work while remaining invisible

they appear when You tell them to
deliver messages, execute judgments
and scare the living daylights out of people.

You’ve assigned one or more of them to protect each of Your people…

including me.

Take notes, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So he got up…”
(Matthew 2:21)

Forgive me, Jesus, but isn’t that what Your stepdad did

when an angel told him to take Your mom home to be his wife
even though she was pregnant?

and what he did when an angel told him
to take You and Your mom to Egypt?

Now, he’s obeying the angel again –

taking You and Your mom back home to Israel.

Each time He got up and did it.

Sounds like a plan.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”
(Matthew 2:20)

Your Father sent that angel to Joseph, Jesus

to let him know the coast was clear to take You back.

Of course, Your Heavenly Father is also

the one who cleared the coast!

The murderous King Herod

was taken out.

I serve the Almighty God who can not only let me know when it’s safe to move

but do whatever it takes
to clear the path.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Get up…”
(Matthew 2:20)

Joseph was fast asleep, Jesus, dreaming!

But I guess You knew that
since You’re the one who gave him the dream.

It was good news that he and Mary could go back home from Egypt

now that You had helped the murderer Herod exit this life
and move on to the next.

“Get up!” You told Joseph.

And he did.

Instant obedience.

You really like that in a person, don’t You?
Guess I’d better oblige.

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute trust:

“After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph…”
(Matthew 2:19)

Your mom, Joseph and You had to sit tight, Jesus

until Your Heavenly Father removed the man
who wanted to kill You.

Then Your angel showed up.

In a dream.

That couldn’t have been an ordinary dream!

or Joseph wouldn’t have trusted it.

How will I know if You send an angel to me?

I don’t have to worry, do I?
I’ll know.

Open yourself to His glory, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…until…the morning star rises in your hearts.”
(2 Peter 1:19)

Some people think the morning star is Venus or Mercury, Jesus.

Some think it’s Sirius – apart from the sun
the brightest star in earth’s sky.

In Greek mythology it’s Phosphorus.
In Slavic mythology it’s one of their Zorya.
It’s At-Tariq in the Qur’an.

Before his fall, Satan was known as a morning star

but not the morning star.

There is only one truly bright and morning star, Jesus!

You.

 Pray this Lazaroo with faith-energized anticipation: 

“At that time Mary got ready…”
(Luke 1:39)

What an insight into the kind of girl Your mom was, Jesus!

No sooner does she hear Your Father’s plans for her
than she takes action to get ready for Your birth.

That’s faith, isn’t it?

All she had to go on
was the word of someone who said he was an angel

then disappeared.

May I be the kind of person who takes action

the moment I see it in Your Word.
