Pray this Lazaroo with holy boldness:

“Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, ‘Why do you disobey the king’s command?’”
(Esther 3:3)

The answer was simple, Jesus:

Haman was a wicked man who did not deserve to be honored.

But that wasn’t even the biggest reason.

Mordecai wasn’t about to bow down to anyone but You.
The fact that it was the king who ordered it was irrelevant

even though it might cost Mordecai his life.

May that kind of holy courage be mine!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“In that day people will throw away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.”
(Isaiah 2:20)

There is coming a day, Jesus…

when everyone who trusts anyone or anything other than You
will discover what fools they’ve been!

Am I trusting anything or anyone but You?

If so, I beg You to show me!

I’d rather throw it to the moles and bats now

than wait till then.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they follow their own evil desires…”
(Jude 1:16)

Not at all worth following, Jesus!

If I’m following myself
I’m going in circles.

I’m looking in the mirror to get direction.
I’m answering my own questions.

I’m in a self-destructive loop
turning further and further inward
without hope of course correction.

I’m committing the ultimate sin:

making myself my god.

Until I look outside myself

I’m not going anywhere.

If I follow anyone but You

I’m going nowhere
worth going.
