Saturday, January 23, 2021

 

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“In that day people will throw away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.”
(Isaiah 2:20)

There is coming a day, Jesus…

when everyone who trusts anyone or anything other than You
will discover what fools they’ve been!

Am I trusting anything or anyone but You?

If so, I beg You to show me!

I’d rather throw it to the moles and bats now

than wait till then.

Pray this Lazaroo repelled in horror:

“…God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment…”
(2 Peter 2:4)

That’s a lot of angels, Jesus

an incredible number of cells in those gloomy dungeons
all of them writhing in unspeakable torment
awaiting certain, eternal judgment.

Just thinking about it gives me the willies.

I’m so thankful my trust in You changes my destination
from hell to heaven!

Please give me the courage

to warn others.

As you pray this Lazaroo…remember!

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Do I remember when I was like that, Jesus –

right after I first gave myself to You?

I certainly craved pure spiritual milk then!

I attended Bible studies, never missed a church service.
If there was something You wanted me to do, I did it!

What do I crave now?

Restore to me the heart of a newborn, Father!

not with immaturity

but in passionate desire for You and Your Word.

Think beyond the end of your nose, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:22)

Wise question, Jesus!

Kinda what Solomon was known for.

The sad reality is this: 

A whole lot of what I do
isn’t going to amount to a hill of beans
ten years from now.

How foolish to spend myself for nothing!

Which makes me wonder:

What could I do
that would matter even more
ten thousand years from now?

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened submission:

“…he who said, ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ also said, ‘You shall not murder.’”
(James 2:11)

This isn’t about compiling a list of all Your prohibitions, is it, Jesus?

You’re making it clear to me
that I have no room to judge someone’s sin as worse than mine.

You hate all sin!

Big and little.

You want me to focus on eradicating my so-called “little” sin

instead of attempting to excuse it
by pointing out someone else’s “big” sin.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.”
(Proverbs 3:11-12)

I don’t like to be disciplined, Jesus.

It’s upsetting to realize You’re disappointed in me!

As a result, my immaturity is showing, isn’t it?

I should welcome Your correction.
It’s a chance to learn, grow, improve.

It’s evidence that You love me –
that in me You find delight!

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred gratitude:

“…during the time of testing in the wilderness…your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.”
(Hebrews 3:8-9)

How could they do that, Jesus?

Forty years of seeing Your love, majesty and protection
and still they tested, tried and flat-out disobeyed You countless times!

The same question could be asked of me.

After all You’ve done and continue to do for me
how dare I give You anything less than my absolute best?

Pray this Lazaroo in total adoration:

“All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.”
(Psalms 6:10)

Quite a promise, Jesus.

Not just a few of David’s enemies will be suddenly overwhelmed and turn back with shame and anguish.

All of them.

Just in case I have any enemies, LORD…

how can I get in on a promise like that?

Oh.

David loved and served You passionately

then wept and cried out to You.
