Ready yourself for battle, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Abner looked behind him and asked, ‘Is that you, Asahel?’ ‘It is,’ he answered.”
(2 Samuel 2:20)

This was a death-chase, Jesus.

A war was raging.
Asahel was intent on killing Abner.

I, too, am in a war – a holy war – the war of the ages.

The forces of good against the forces of evil.
Angels and believers against demons and God-haters.
My Christian self against my sinful human nature.

O God! Rise up within me in power!

Help me win.

Pray this Lazaroo in full-armored caution:

“…he pursued him.”
(2 Samuel 2:19)

Help me to be sure of what I’m pursuing, Jesus

making certain You want me to chase it.

Because with the gifts, talents and skills You’ve given me –

plus this burning determination –

I might catch it.

If it’s good, right and holy

and in Your perfect time

bless my pursuit with success!

But what a tragedy it would be if – as with what happened to Asahel –

when I catch it

it catches me.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“He chased Abner…”
(2 Samuel 2:19)

There were a lot of people the fleet-footed Asahel could have safely chased, Jesus

but the commander Abner wasn’t one of them.

No doubt Asahel picked him because he was the biggest prize

but sadly, he didn’t know what to do with him when he caught him

and it cost him his life.

What am I chasing that I shouldn’t be, LORD?

Don’t let me catch it.

I’d rather be slow

than dead.
