Pray this Lazaroo in sobered humility:

“Let the Lord judge the peoples. Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure—you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts. My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.”
(Psalms 7:8-10)

Like David, Jesus

there are times I can’t ask you to deliver me
according to my righteousness.

My only hope is Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“You might as well request the kingdom for him…”
(1 Kings 2:22)

All Adonijah asked was to marry this woman, Jesus.

But Solomon knew better.

With that key move

his brother could succeed in overthrowing him.

Like Satan!

He tempts me to compromise in an area that seems harmless
but what he’s doing is getting a toe in the door

then a foot
followed by a leg
until he’s completely inside

intent on overthrowing Your kingdom in my life.

Pray this Lazaroo in sensitive awareness:

“‘I have one small request to make of you,’ she said.”
(1 Kings 2:20)

Bathsheba is right, Jesus.

The request she is about to make of her son Solomon is small.
With a word, he can easily grant it.

There’s only one problem:

If he does what his mother is asking
the consequences will be catastrophic.

What a reminder!

Just because a thing is easy to do

doesn’t make it right
doesn’t mean You want me to do it.

Pray this Lazaroo in wise faith:

“When Bathsheba went to King Solomon…the king…bowed down to her…”
(1 Kings 2:19)

I love the respect Solomon showed his mother, Jesus.

Of all his wise behaviors
this may have been his best.

I wonder…

did he know what his mother endured to be in this position?

Was he aware that King David killed her husband to hide the pregnancy he had caused

resulting in his older brother’s death?

O God!

Give me mad respect for those who’ve suffered.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest respect:

“When Bathsheba went to King Solomon…the king stood up to meet her…”
(1 Kings 2:19)

I love this, Jesus –

the respect Solomon showed his mother.

Typically, kings didn’t stand for anyone except another king.

But You’ve instructed us to honor our mothers and fathers
that our days may be long on this earth.

Solomon knew Your Word.
He was filled with Your wisdom.

So when his mother entered the room
he paid her the honor due her:

He stood.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘Very well,’ Bathsheba replied, ‘I will speak to the king for you.’”
(1 Kings 2:18)

Bathsheba was naïve, trusting, politically inexperienced, Jesus

She took the conniving Adonijah at his word

not knowing that if her son Solomon had granted his brother’s request

she and her son would soon be dead.

I want to take people at face value, Father…but I’ve learned the hard way

that isn’t always possible

O Holy Spirit:

Grant me Your priceless gift of discernment!

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly discernment:

“Please ask King Solomon – he will not refuse you – “
(1 Kings 2:17)

That should have been Bathsheba’s first clue, Jesus:

Something about Adonijah’s request didn’t smell right.

Why didn’t he go to Solomon himself?

Because his request didn’t stand on its own merit.

He was hoping Solomon’s love for his mother
would blind him to its hidden agenda.

Help me take a lesson, Holy Spirit…

next time somebody asks me to do their dirty work.
