Watch out! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh…”
(2 John 1:7)

On the one hand, I don’t blame them, Jesus.

Your coming to this world as a 100% human baby

was a stunner.

No wonder we’ve created an entire holiday called, “Christmas”

to celebrate Your virgin birth!

But these are not sincere truth seekers, Father.

They’re deceivers.

Which means they’re not contradicting Your Word because they’re confused

but in order to manipulate others to their own advantage.

Pray this Lazaroo with an attentive, grateful heart:

“…one we have had…”
(2 John 1:5)

I keep asking for more, Jesus

when You’ve already loaded me with treasures!

I’m like a child at Christmas frantically unwrapping present after present –

ribbons and paper flying everywhere –
hardly stopping to notice the gifts already unwrapped.

I need to stop with my begging for awhile…

take time to deeply appreciate
the blessings You’ve piled high all around me.

Somewhere in the stack

I may even discover the very thing I need.

On this Christmas day, pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…they…stayed there three days…”
(Joshua 2:22)

So how long do You want me to stay where I am, Jesus?

A day? Three? A year?
For the rest of my life?

It’s good to know I’m where You want me

but to presume I will never move
is a mistake.

You want me to enjoy where You’ve placed me

but not to become complacent, thinking
“Now I know how this is going to play out.”

No.
Huh-uh.
I don’t know.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.”
(Acts 2:20)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

You’re coming.

I know it will happen.

I just don’t know when.

I know it will happen because You declared in advance You would come the first time.

And on this Christmas Eve I’m reminded:
You kept Your Word!
You came!

But this next coming of Yours?

Wow. What a day that will be!

When You rescue Your people
from the coming wrath.

Pray this Lazaroo with gratitude to the One Who came to us!

“…this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel…”
(Acts 2:16)

Joel prophesied that in the last days, You’d pour out Your Spirit on all people, Jesus –

young and old
men and women.

You have.

And You are.

On this day, I’m thinking especially about that young woman on whom You poured out Your Spirit, Father…

Mary, mother of Your Son.

Because He came

I live.

And so on this Day of days, it’s not Xmas for me.

It’s Christmas.

 Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones: 

“May those who curse days curse that day…”
(Job 3:8)

Am I a “curser of days,” Jesus?

Are there some holidays I hate?
A person’s birthday I can’t stand?
Several anniversaries I loathe?
Two or three bad-day memories I detest?

I’d better watch it, or I won’t have any good days left on my calendar!

Please help me remember that You either stood by and allowed each of those days to occur…or made them happen.

For a reason.
