Prioritize! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The gold nails weighed fifty shekels.”
(2 Chronicles 3:9)

Even the nails of the Most Holy Place in Your temple were gold, Jesus!

Some would consider this wasteful.

But they’re wrong!

You are worthy of the best we have –
for all of it comes from You.

How dare we skimp on anything we offer to You!

Of course, even our best isn’t good enough for You!

My best isn’t good enough for You!
But may I never give less.

Pray this Lazaroo in courageous wisdom:

“…their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)

That’s a sure sign of demonic activity, isn’t it, Jesus?

When somebody actively tries to stop me from telling people about You

I need to rebuke Satan and redouble my efforts to share the gospel!

Of course, if they’re not trying to stop me from witnessing

but merely coaching me to be wiser in how I approach others

maybe I need to listen! 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Some of the Kohathite clans were given as their territory towns from the tribe of Ephraim.”
(1 Chronicles 6:66)

Of course, the Kohathites were one of the four main divisions among the Levites, Jesus.

They took care of the vessels and objects within Your sanctuary.

As with the other Levites, although You gave them cities within the other tribes of Israel

You didn’t give the Kohathites land of their own.

You were their inheritance –

as You are mine!

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed resolve:

“I have become its servant by the commission God gave me…”
(Colossians 1:25)

You’ve also given me a commission, Jesus!

I’m supposed to share Your good news
with those who don’t yet know You.

I like what everybody thinks St. Francis of Assisi had to say about that:

Preach the gospel at all times.
If necessary, use words.

Of course, Francis didn’t say that – but still, it reminds me:

My words have power
only if backed up by my life.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The word of the LORD is with him.”
(2 Kings 3:12)

May that be said of me, Jesus!

Not simply because I have a Bible on my coffee table
or beside my bed.

Not merely because I have a Bible app on my phone.
Not just because I can quote a few verses of Scripture.

But because I’m living out Your Word!
Because everything I say is in keeping with Your Word!

Rise up within me
to make it so.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…make my joy complete…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Paul was telling the people in the church at Philippi what else he wanted them to do, Jesus.

They had already pleased him in a few things
but the transformation into Your likeness still wasn’t done.

Can I ever identify!

I’m making progress in a few areas.
When I look a little more like You, I’m thrilled!

So is everybody around me. 😉

Please help me go all the way!

…to make Your joy complete.

Pray this Lazaroo in thoughtful recognition:

“Go back to your field…You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark of the Sovereign Lord before my father David and shared all my father’s hardships.”
(1 Kings 2:26)

I love Solomon’s decision, Jesus!

For attempting to overthrow King Solomon
Abiathar deserved to die.

But Solomon spared his life
out of respect for his past service to his father

It’s not about this moment alone, is it, Father?

Help me remember!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…remember that at that time you were…without hope and without God in the world.”
(Ephesians 2:12)

It’s vital to remember that, Jesus!

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my problems
that I’m tempted to envy the lifestyles of unbelievers.

That’s when I most need to recall what it was like when I was in the same boat they’re in.

It was downright ugly!

I never want to return to the empty, hopeless existence

that is life without You.
