Monday, November 7, 2016

 

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will…destroy by the splendor of his coming.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:8)

I love the sound of that, Jesus!

The antichrist will terrorize the world.
He’ll look fearsome, powerful, unbeatable

until You show up

and make his searchlight look like a burned out match.

Right now, I can only imagine what that stunning event will be like.

But on that Day of days
I’ll have a front row seat.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“He assigned…80,000 to be stonecutters…”
(2 Chronicles 2:18)

Not an easy job, Jesus.

Stone cutting requires skill, strength, training.

Not a particularly safe job, either.

Pieces of stone can put out an eye.
Hammers can miss their mark and crush

hands
fingers
arms
legs
feet.

Still, the job had to be done.

Your temple had to be built.

Many of the jobs You assign are like that –

requiring skill, strength, training, risk-taking courage –

because Your kingdom has to be built.

Be filled with gratitude, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:11-12)

But not every father encourages, Jesus.

Some with their words

discourage, belittle, condemn
pull the rug out from under their offspring.

Others by their example

humiliate, anger, disappoint
lead their children astray

Thank You for every father who encourages!

But thank You even more for being the greatest Father of all

who encourages, uplifts and inspires
every single one of us!

Embrace your calling as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Aaron and his descendants were the ones who presented offerings on the altar of burnt offering…”
(1 Chronicles 6:49)

You’ve got an assignment for everyone, Jesus

but You have so much that needs to be done
so many lives to be touched

that we can’t all do the same job.

What a tragedy if I’m so envious of what someone else is doing

that I totally miss the indescribable joy
of doing what You’ve designed me to do.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed horror…and gratitude:

“…through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”
(Colossians 1:20)

The peace with You I now enjoy wasn’t made at a conference table, Jesus.

It wasn’t agreed to with a handshake
wasn’t wordsmithed on a piece of paper.

It was paid in full by You

through Your excruciatingly painful

ugly
wholly undeserved
patently unfair
outrageously unjust
humiliating death

on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Nevertheless he clung to the sins of Jeroboam…which he had caused Israel to commit…”
(2 Kings 3:3)

A leader of anything has a terrible responsibility, doesn’t he, Jesus?

Not only does she have to answer for her own actions
but You hold her accountable for the actions of those under her care.

Certainly, it’s not the leader’s fault if his people go astray

so long as he’s led faithfully, according to Your Word.

But if he hasn’t?
God help him.

Grow in understanding, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ…then I will know that you stand firm…”
(Philippians 1:27)

That’s how I know someone’s for real, isn’t it, Jesus?

When they conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel

“…whatever happens.”

So long as things are going well, most of us can appear to keep it together.

But when all hell breaks loose
there’s no faking it.

They’re either the real deal…or they aren’t.

Pray this Lazaroo in wise faith:

“When Bathsheba went to King Solomon…the king…bowed down to her…”
(1 Kings 2:19)

I love the respect Solomon showed his mother, Jesus.

Of all his wise behaviors
this may have been his best.

I wonder…

did he know what his mother endured to be in this position?

Was he aware that King David killed her husband to hide the pregnancy he had caused

resulting in his older brother’s death?

O God!

Give me mad respect for those who’ve suffered.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…the incomparable riches of his grace…”
(Ephesians 2:7)

It’s true, Jesus.

There’s no comparison to being forgiven for inexcusable crimes
and treated instead like sinless royalty.

Who does that?

Only You.

The rest of the world wants revenge, justice, payback

while You went to the cross to give us the only way out
a stunning opportunity to escape scot-free!

But why? Why? Why would You treat us like this?

There can be only one answer:

Your baffling, incomprehensible love.
