Friday, March 22, 2024

 

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
(John 3:14-15)

Anyone bitten by those venomous snakes in the wilderness, Jesus

had only to look at the bronze snake on Moses’ pole

and they lived.

They lived because they believed what You told them

just as I will live because I believe what You’ve told me.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“As I listened, he said to the others, ‘Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.’”
(Ezekiel 9:5-6)

Such violent, merciless punishment violates our modern sensibilities, Jesus.

But we fail to recognize the depth of idolatry’s evil
and the rapidity with which it infects those it touches.

At some point I have to decide:

Do I trust my LORD and Savior to do only what’s right?

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Elisha said to Gehazi, ‘Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand and run. Don’t greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy’s face.’ But the child’s mother said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.’ So he got up and followed her.”
(2 Kings 4:29-30)

This Shunammite woman knew who had it, Jesus…

and who didn’t.

Help me know the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“‘Return, faithless people,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I am your husband. I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion. Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.’”
(Jeremiah 3:14-15)

You know those who are Yours, Jesus –

no matter where we are
no matter what label has been placed on us
no matter what anyone thinks.

Look into my heart and see my love for You!

Pray this Lazaroo with ironclad conviction:

“Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.”
(3 John 1:11)

I’m sure that’s true, Jesus.

But I haven’t seen You
and I’m determined not to do evil!

When Your disciple Thomas believed after He saw Your resurrected body

You told Him those would be blessed
who believe in You even though they haven’t seen You.

I haven’t seen You in person

but with countless others

I see You by faith!

That will be enough

until my faith becomes sight.

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.”
(2 John 1:10-11)

I’m no innocent bystander, am I, Jesus?

Even though  I claim to belong to You

while welcoming and befriending
buddying up and hanging out

with people who deny Your Name
with those who reject Your Word

I’m in the same boat with them

which is going to sink.

Pray this Lazaroo with acknowledged need:

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)

You’re making it very clear, Jesus:

We need each other.

I need other people in my life –

reliable people!

…and they need me.

So much for my solo act.

May I be the help to others

I need from them.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Shallum…and his fellow gatekeepers…were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent just as their ancestors had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the Lord. In earlier times Phinehas…was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. Zechariah…was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”
(1 Chronicles 9:19-21)

You place a high priority on guarding the entrances to Your dwellings, Jesus!

May I do the same –

never allowing anyone or anything to enter my life
that would compromise my relationship with You!

Shudder as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies…”
(Nahum 3:1)

Which is worse, Jesus –

a city full of blood
or a city full of lies?

They’re both horrible…

but the worst has to be a city full of lies.

Even when there’s blood

if people tell the truth
you know where you stand.

But with lies

you know nothing.

You don’t know which end is up
who to trust – if anyone.

Great God Almighty!

Make me a person of truth!

Please spare me

from those whose mouths
are full of lies.

Pray this Lazaroo with a transparent heart:

“Anyone who does what is good is from God.”
(3 John 1:11)

That’s…quite a statement, Jesus.

There are a lot of people out there
who don’t accept You as Savior
who do good.

Oh, but wait a minute.

A deed is truly good
only when it’s done from pure motives –

and pure motives
originate with You.

When I do a so-called good deed
to win the approval of others

I’m serving myself –

not You or them

and the deed is soiled.
