Pray this Lazaroo with eyes that see:

“How can you say, ‘I am not defiled; I have not run after the Baals’? See how you behaved in the valley; consider what you have done.”
(Jeremiah 2:23)

It’s much easier for me to see how they defiled themselves, Jesus

than it is to see how I’ve done the same.

No, I haven’t run after anything called, “Baal.”

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t idols in my life –

anyone or anything I honor above You.

Open my eyes!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“They provoked the LORD to anger because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.”
(Judges 2:12-13)

No wonder You were angry, Father!

These were gods of their own creation
gods You had warned them against

gods who had never done anything for them
because as the product of their imaginations

they couldn’t.

The things I create contain the same danger, LORD.

May I keep You first, always, Jesus!
employing what I create

to serve You.

 Pray this Lazaroo in faithful allegiance: 

“…the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals.”
(Judges 2:11)

How could this happen, Jesus –

especially to Your people?

They decided You were the God to turn to in times of crises

but Baal was the god of everyday life
whom they could worship with temple prostitutes.

But You’re not only the God who can part the Red Sea

You’re also the God of my morning, noon and night

the Friend

who sticks closer than a brother.
