Seek understanding, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Be still before the Lord, all mankind…”
(Zechariah 2:13)

There’s a time to talk, Jesus.

Solomon told us so.

But there’s also a time to hush up.

Solomon told us that, too.

Without question, on countless occasions

You invite me to speak to You – even call to You.

But there are times when I’d be wise to hold my tongue and just listen –

as on those occasions when I start to complain.

You know what You’re doing.
I don’t.

Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with gratitude:

“From this day on I will bless you.”
(Haggai 2:19)

You had been punishing Your people, Jesus.

Because of their sins against You

they planted much, but harvested little
they ate, but didn’t have enough
they drank, but never quenched their thirst
they put on clothes, but couldn’t keep warm
they earned money…which dwindled away.

Then came the day when You said, “Enough is enough!”

You continue to treat me better than I deserve, LORD!

I’m thankful.
Beyond words.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing confidence:

“Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger.”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

You did it for Lot, Jesus!

When You destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
You first sent Your angels to take him out of harm’s way.

You did it for Your people in Egypt, Father!

When you sent those ten plagues
You spared the land of Goshen.

Please, LORD:

Do it for me!

Be forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.”
(Habakkuk 2:11)

This is Your warning to those who lie, cheat and steal, Jesus.

Just when they think they’ve succeeded and can kick back and enjoy what they’ve built

they find out they’re wrong.

Though they spared no expense

their luxuries backfire
and come back to bite them.

Those who cheat to get ahead

You deposit at the end of the line.

Learn a hard lesson, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“It is decreed that the city be exiled…”
(Nahum 2:7)

I’ve heard of people being exiled, Jesus –

kicked out of their own country.

But I’ve never heard of an entire city

being removed from its national identity.

If that were to happen to a city in my country

which one would it be?

Or perhaps I should ask, “Which ones?”

You’re not messing around, are You?

When an entire city full of people ignore Your repeated warnings

You act.

Face facts! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Get up, go away! For this is not your resting place, because it is defiled, it is ruined, beyond all remedy.”
(Micah 2:10)

Those last words startle me, Jesus:

“…beyond all remedy.”

There are some things I can’t fix, aren’t there?

When that’s the state of affairs
please help me recognize it!

You can fix everything.

Nothing is too hard for You.

But in Your wisdom You know:

The way some things are best fixed

is to move on.

Wednesday, December 2, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent spirit:

“They declared a fast…”
(Jonah 3:5)

These days, Jesus

people seldom declare a fast
unless their serious.

We go without food only when we want something really badly

or when we’ve had the living tar scared out of us.

That was pretty much what happened to the Ninevites

after Jonah showed up and warned them
that You were going to destroy their city in 40 days.

May I always remember:

Because they got serious and got serious fast

You relented.

Let anticipation build, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…up on Mt. Zion…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

Up on Mt. Zion is right, Jesus!

First, it was the hill David captured near Jerusalem and named:

“The City of David.”

Then it was the mount on which the temple was built.

Later, it referred to the city of Jerusalem

then the nation of Israel.

But a day is coming when Mt. Zion will be the heavenly Jerusalem

with thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly

where You will rule forever and ever.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed faith:

“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.’”
(Amos 3:11)

When we keep sinning and sinning and sinning, Jesus…

when we continually ignore Your Voice, calling us to return to You…

there’s always a “therefore,” isn’t there?

I dare not mistake your patience for powerlessness.

I don’t want enemies to overrun my land
pull down my strongholds
plunder my fortresses.

I’ve got to repent and turn it around.

Now.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The day of the Lord is great; it is dreadful. Who can endure it?”
(Joel 2:11)

Those who think this world will forever continue as it is are mistaken, Jesus.

You’re giving us countless chances to stop our sinning
to turn wholeheartedly to You.

But the end of all things as we know them is drawing near.

Our wickedness is mounting up to the skies.

You’re about to come down here with Your saints and angels

and clean things up.
