Stand corrected, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“It is decreed…”
(Nahum 2:7)

I can issue decrees all day long, Jesus –

as can every king, president, prime minister, chairman
judge, commissioner, CEO, leader and person on earth.

But not one blessed thing will happen

unless YOU decree it!

Sometimes we get pretty full of ourselves

carried away by our titles, positions, responsibilities
all too often forgetting to Whom we’re responsible:

You.

When we fail to check in with the Boss of all bosses

our puny decrees fall flatter than a flitter.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful recognition:

“…as prescribed by David king of Israel.”
(Ezra 3:10)

It takes somebody to prescribe things, Jesus.

If there’s nobody to do that…

…chaos.

That’s why You provide these people to us.

Sometime we’re grateful
sometimes not.

Our problem is that no matter who You provide

they’re not perfect.
They make mistakes.

We think to ourselves, “I could do better.”

Maybe we’re right.

But if You appointed us to the job

there would be people thinking

“I could do better.”

Pray this Lazaroo in prayerful trust:

“Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters…”
(Ruth 2:5)

Every leader’s got to have one of these, Jesus –

a foreman
a man or woman who heads up the project

makes sure it get done
and done right.

The top person can only do so much.

Of course, there’s a risk.

A great foreman is an enormous support to the leader.
A disloyal foreman deviously pursues his own agenda.

Please, Father!

Bring alongside every Godly leader
a great foreman.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…whether I come and see you or only hear about you…”
(Philippians 1:27)

Usually it matters, Jesus –

whether the boss is present or absent.

In most cases, more work – and better work –

get done when the overseer is there to oversee.

“People don’t do what you expect…” goes the saying.

“…they do what you inspect.”

But working for You is different.

You have a way of staying while You go.

The theologians call it, “omnipresence.”

The 24/7 game-changer.

Pray this Lazaroo with self awareness:

“…their nobles would not put their shoulders to the work under their supervisors.”
(Nehemiah 3:5)

That’s a pretty stubborn case of laziness, Jesus.

Most people work when their supervisors are standing over them.
It’s when their supervisors leave that lazy people stop work.

“People don’t do what you expect…they do what you inspect.”

But these people refused to work in full view of their bosses!

Shameful.
Inexcusable.

Like the times I sin
even though I know You’re watching.

Listen for the Holy Spirit’s prompt, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He was appointed over those who were responsible for the care of the sanctuary.”
(Numbers 3:32)

That’s a lot of responsibility, Jesus –

to be responsible for those who are responsible.

Not everyone’s cut out for that.

Sometimes people are envious of those in authority
not realizing the unrelenting weight they bear.

I’m not asking for more than You’ve given me.

All I ask is this:

Make my assignment crystal clear
Then equip and inspire me to do it.
