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

“Beyond them, Benjamin and Hasshub made repairs in front of their house; and next to them, Azariah son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, made repairs beside his house. Next to him, Binnui son of Henadad repaired another section, from Azariah’s house to the angle and the corner…”
(Nehemiah 3:23-24)

Some people only take care of themselves, Jesus

but a precious few also take care of others.

In Your strength and by Your grace
count me in their number!

Watch your step! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a temple for the Lord, the God of Israel, they… said, ‘Let us help you build because, like you, we seek your God…’”
(Ezra 4:1-2)

It’s a fact, Jesus:

Your enemies will sometimes pretend to be my friends.

Oh, how I need Your guidance, Holy Spirit!

Help me see through them!

May I never be so desperate for friends

that I fall for their lying deception.

See if you can keep track of this Lazaroo!

“Makir took a wife from among the Huppites and Shuppites.”
(1 Chronicles 7:15)

It’s fascinating to trace the ancestry of these people, Jesus!

Jacob and Rachel had two sons: Joseph and Benjamin.

Rachel died while giving birth to Benjamin
who was an ancestor of the Huppites and Shuppites.

Makir was the grandson of Benjamin’s other brother Joseph.

So when Makir chose a Huppite-Shuppite girl
he was marrying a many-times-removed cousin!

If that matters to You…

it matters to me.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter gratitude:

“…Joab and Abishai pursued Abner, and as the sun was setting, they came to the hill of Ammah…Then the men of Benjamin rallied behind Abner. They formed themselves into a group and took their stand…”
(2 Samuel 2:24-25)

Sometimes it takes getting chased, picked on, attacked Jesus

before a person can get a little help.

At other times the help disappears

when people come after me.

O thank God!

that whether or not I have helpers

I always have You.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing awareness:

“From the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin they allotted the previously named towns.”
(1 Chronicles 6:65)

How do I respond when something I thought was mine is taken away, Jesus?

I think they call that stealing.

Last time I checked

the eighth of Your Ten Commandments
says that’s not supposed to happen.

But then You come along and say if someone takes my coat

I should let them have my shirt, too.

It’s just stuff, isn’t it?
