Pray this Lazaroo with determined faith:

“The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord…For all generations to come it is his perpetual share…Whatever touches them will become holy.”
(Leviticus 6:15, 18)

This is my prayer, Jesus…

that whoever touches my life will be pointed to You –

the only one who can make them holy!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.”
(Leviticus 6:12-13)

Why was it so important to You that the fire didn’t go out, Jesus?

Was it because You want the fire You’ve lit in my heart

to keep burning ever hotter until You call me home?

Watch it happen! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will leave you no prey on the earth.’”
(Nahum 2:13)

What happens to a carnivore when there’s no longer any prey, Jesus?

If they have nothing to kill

they can’t eat.

If they have nothing to eat

they’ll die.

You’re slow to anger, abounding in love.

But when Your patience is met by unrelenting, vicious behavior

You pronounce sentence.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions.’”
(Nahum 2:13)

The young lions are the future, Jesus.

If You punish a nation by destroying the best of their youth
You doom that country to become increasingly weak

eventually to disappear

which is exactly what happened in 637

to the once great city of Nineveh.

O God!

I beg You: Spare our young lions!

Take sober warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘I will burn up your chariots in smoke…’”
(Nahum 2:13)

This is what happens when You’re against someone, isn’t it, Jesus?

You destroy the things they trust.

Why?

Because they’re trusting them instead of You!

They fail to see that their “chariots” – or whatever they’re trusting –

are gifts from Your hand
given to them in love.

But when they make Your gifts their god

they quickly find out:

You will tolerate no gods before You!

Pray this Lazaroo in unbounded gratitude:

“…the priest…shall… burn it on the altar on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord…In this way the priest will make atonement for them for any of these sins they have committed, and they will be forgiven. The rest of the offering will belong to the priest.’”
(Leviticus 5:12-13)

I’m so thankful that I don’t have to do this anymore, Jesus.

On the cross You gave Your life to become my sin offering.

I am wholly, completely, utterly forgiven!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“He shall burn all the fat on the altar…”
(Leviticus 4:26)

Just as You commanded the priest to offer an animal on the altar, Jesus

so You invite me to offer myself to You as a living sacrifice
holy and pleasing in Your sight.

As I do, please enable me to burn up all the fat!

By that, I mean those things I’m doing that are unhealthy –

physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually –

whatever is cheating me out of Your best.
