Friday, October 16, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-headed introspection:

“You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.”
(Romans 2:1)

But it’s so hard to see our own sins, isn’t it, Jesus?

We excuse them, justify them, flat-out ignore them.

We’re so busy pointing out the flaws in others

that we fail to understand that our disgust with them
arises from unadmitted disgust with ourselves.

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant faith:

“…it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.”
(Acts 2:24)

Oh, HALLELUJAH, Jesus!

Of course it was impossible for death to keep its hold on You –
You’re the Author of Life!

All things have been created through You and for You –

things in heaven and on earth
visible and invisible

whether thrones or powers
or rulers or authorities.

And because by faith I live in You

it’s impossible for death to keep its hold on me!

Set your heart for rapid response as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then you replied, ‘We have sinned against the Lord. We will go up and fight, as the Lord our God commanded us.’”
(Deuteronomy 1:41)

They changed their minds too late, Jesus!

Their opportunity came and went.

True, You’re a forgiving God.

You give us chance after chance
over and over again.

But there’s a time for everything.

Sometimes, my refusal to obey the first time
causes me to miss my window of opportunity.

Instant obedience

is the only wise way, isn’t it?

Monday, October 12, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“’How do you know me?’ Nathanael asked.”
(John 1:48)

Nathanael had just met You, Jesus.

He was a skeptic.

But when You told him exactly who he was and what he had been doing hours before

He began to be a believer pretty fast.

It’s a very healthy idea for me to remember Who You Are, Jesus!

which explains how it is that You know me inside and out
along with all my thoughts, words

and comings and goings.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Take the Levites for me in place of all the firstborn of the Israelites, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites. I am the Lord.”
(Numbers 3:41)

Yes, You Are LORD, Jesus!

When You struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, you set apart for Yourself every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal, declaring them to be Yours –

just as You are the firstborn of all creation.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.”
(Luke 1:56)

What an awesome time those three months had to be, Jesus!

Your mother Mary, probably 12 or 13 years old
Elizabeth, well over 60

both filled with inexpressible wonder
pregnant because of a miracle
worked by Your heavenly Father.

Each of them faced unique challenges.
They needed each other, didn’t they?

O God!

Please put me with the right people

so we can encourage one another.

Pray this Lazaroo in genuine sorrow:

“…they must bring as their offering for the sin they committed a female goat without defect. They are to lay their hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.”
(Leviticus 4:28-29)

If we had to do this today, Jesus

…there’d be a whole lot less sinning!

Having to look that perfect little female goat in the eye

and realizing I now had to kill her
because of the sin I had committed?

Wow.

Thursday, October 8, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.”
(Mark 2:4)

How many people would have given up, Jesus?

Probably most of them.
They would have said, “Sorry, we can’t get you in.”

But these men risked everything to bring their friend to You!

O God! Make me such a friend!

Pray this Lazaroo armed for battle:

“…you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’”
(Exodus 3:18)

When You meet with me through Your Word and send me on a mission

I have no choice but to obey

even – or especially! –
when the mission is to go to an unbeliever.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: ‘A voice of one calling in the desert…’”
(Matthew 3:3)

More than 700 years before John the Baptist spoke those words, Jesus

You revealed to Your prophet Isaiah that he would speak them!

Who besides You can do that?

No one.

You know what each of us is going to think, say and do

before we have a clue.

No wonder we worship You in reverent awe!
