Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord also said to Moses, ‘Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites are to be mine. I am the Lord.’”
(Numbers 3:44-45)

How incredibly special it was to be a Levite, Jesus!

That had to make them feel so close to You –
because they belonged to You.

Though not a Levite, I’ve put my faith in You –

which means lock, stock and barrel:

I’m Yours!

Pray this Lazaroo in wisdom, self-control and total trust:

“…forfeiting your life.”
(Habakkuk 2:10)

That seems incomprehensible, Jesus!

Why would anyone forfeit his life?
Why would she throw away something so precious?

But people do it all the time. Why?

Because Your gracious gift of life can become soiled, feel ruined

by sin…pain…sickness…fear…hatred…loss.

And in the darkness that our emotions and Satan himself brings

people can lose hope
abandon perspective
think irrationally

act hastily…foolishly.

But You’re the Giver of life!

My life is not my own to take.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter certainty:

“…the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah…was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.”
(2 Chronicles 3:1)

Well, yes, Jesus.

The site of Your temple was provided by David.
Before that, it belonged to Araunah.
Long before that, it was “owned” by countless others.

But before any of them had it

it was Yours.

In fact, just like every piece of real estate on earth

it never quit being Yours.

 Pray this Lazaroo in grateful acknowledgment: 

“…she found herself working in a field belonging to Boaz…”
(Ruth 2:3)

We human beings behave as though these things in our possession belong to us, don’t we, Jesus?

But they don’t.
They’re Yours.

All of it.

You’ve entrusted these fields, houses, cars, electronics, tools, buildings, toys, friends, neighbors, family members into my care.

You’ve made me responsible for them.
You expect me to do something useful with them and for them.

Something that brings glory
to their Owner.
