Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“I will pay it back…”
(Philemon 1:19)

That was a generous offer, Jesus

seeing as how it was a debt Paul didn’t owe.

It takes love to pay off someone else’s debt –

especially when the cost is great.

You should know

since that’s what You did on the cross for me.

Help me remember that incredible gift

next time I’m tempted to demand payment in full
from somebody who owes me.

Freely I’ve received

freely You expect me to give.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“My message and my preaching were not with wise…words…”
(1 Corinthians 2:4)

Well, that was totally unexpected, Jesus.

I would have thought as educated as he was
the Apostle Paul would have dropped pearls of wisdom on them

in every other sentence.

But he was no longer interested in impressing them

getting them to focus on himself.

He wasn’t trying to create followers of Paul.

He was all about one thing and one thing only:

pointing them to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand.”
(Philemon 1:19)

Which probably means Paul dictated many of his letters, Jesus.

But when he wanted to underscore his authorship
or emphasize a point

he took pen in hand.

Did he struggle to write?

No. He was highly educated.

But dictating to a scribe

allowed someone else to be part of the miracle of sharing Your Word.

May I always be willing to share

Your miracle of ministry through me.

Pray this Lazaroo with opened eyes:

“I came to you…with much trembling.”
(1 Corinthians 2:3)

This is the Apostle Paul talking, Jesus!

The man through whom You’ve given us
much of the New Testament.

The man through whom You healed sick people
and raised the dead.

The man who was stoned and left for dead
but got up.

The man who was bitten by a poisonous snake
and shook it off with no ill effects.

If there were times when he trembled

so can I.
