Saturday, November 7, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…to be self-controlled…”
(Titus 2:3-5)

Yes, they can, Jesus…

provided the older women are themselves self-controlled.

It’s somewhat difficult
to teach something you don’t do.

It’s also extremely helpful for younger women
to see self-control modeled day after day.

Of course, the other side of the equation

is that the younger women must be willing to be taught.

Self-control is hard!

They’ve got to passionately desire it
and be willing to pay the price.

Beg God for supernatural discernment, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman…”
(Esther 3:1)

You don’t tell us why the king honored this awful man, Jesus.

Maybe it was because of Haman’s family connections.
Perhaps the king’s advisers thought it was a good idea.
Maybe Haman possessed skills the king needed.

But honoring Haman was an absolutely atrocious decision

because the man was evil to the bone.

Help me never forget, LORD:

If a person is great in every area except character

they’re poison.

Be overcome with gratitude as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…if we are faithless, he will remain faithful…”
(2 Timothy 2:13)

Could there ever be greater evidence of Your love, Jesus?

Of Your mercy?
Of Your forgiveness?
Of Your kindness?
Of Your patience?
Of Your longsuffering?

Or of Your sovereignty!

Another way to look at it is that nothing I do
can change what You do
nor who You are!

You are faithful. Period.

That’s what I, too, as Your grateful follower
with all my heart aspire to be.

Pray this Lazaroo remembering…anticipating:

“…the steps going down from the City of David.”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Jerusalem…Zion…Ariel…the Holy City…the City of David and of God.

Oh, how You love that spot on earth, Jesus!
So do I!

You –

mourned for her
taught in her streets
entered before cheering crowds
were arrested and stood trial there
were crucified outside her gates
rose to life from one of her tombs
will return one day – soon! –
through her Eastern Gate.

Take it to heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

Paul had just finished telling the men what he wanted them to do, Jesus –

lifting up holy hands in prayer
without anger or disputing.

Now, he’s asking the women of the church

to dress in a way that glorifies You.

My guess is he’s correcting the shortcomings of each. 😉

Do I need to correct any of this, LORD?

Wholehearted worship
anger
disputing
dressing modestly?

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…many…wept aloud…while many others shouted for joy.”
(Ezra 3:12)

Same event, Jesus:

the laying of the foundation of the second temple.

Some wept, remembering, overcome with emotion.

Others were so happy they shouted.

That’s who we are, isn’t it?

We react differently because of what’s inside us.

Fill me with Yourself, Holy Spirit!

Put everything inside me You want to be there!
Fill me up with Your holy Word!

So what comes out of me
will consistently glorify You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He also laid the upper parts with gold.”
(2 Chronicles 3:9)

What if those “upper parts” were in a place where most people wouldn’t notice them –

where only You could see, Jesus?

Then they would have been the most important areas of all, wouldn’t they?

Everything I do for You that others can see
may dilute what I do for You.

But when I do something good that only You can see

that’s 100% pure:

1on1 with You!

Pray this Lazaroo in righteous caution:

“…they always heap up their sins to the limit.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)

I know people who seem to be doing that, Jesus.

Please help me not judge them!
You alone know their struggles, limitations, intent.

But may I not be guilty of such a thing!

All it took for Moses to be denied entrance to the Promised Land
was to strike the rock, rather than speak to it.

Because of my 1on1 closeness to You

the bar is set higher.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem (a city of refuge)…”
(1 Chronicles 6:67)

Those blessed cities of refuge, Jesus!

You provided them so a person who had accidentally killed someone could go to them to escape being killed by the avenger of blood.

Every one of us needs a place of refuge when we’ve done something we didn’t mean to do.

You, LORD!

You Are my place of Refuge

when everyone else
wants to string me up.

What a great commission You gave Paul, Jesus!

The same commission You’ve given me
and every believer on the face of the earth.

It may not be my job to present Your Word to the Church at Colossae

but it most certainly is my assignment
to make sure I share Your Word with those around me

and every chance I get
