Pray this Lazaroo in the holy fear of the LORD:

“…the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. ‘Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,’ she said…referring to circumcision.”
(Exodus 4:24-26)

Had Moses refused to obey You because of his wife, Jesus?

Putting anyone or anything ahead of you is idolatry.
You weren’t about to send an idolater to Egypt to free your people!

Is there anything or anyone with whom I’m committing idolatry, Holy Spirit?

If You were that tough on Moses…

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God. What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar.”
(Romans 3:1-4)

You made some promises to Abraham, Moses and David, Jesus.

You intend to keep them.

You’ve made promises to me, too

all of which You will fulfill.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.”
(Romans 2:28-29)

Wow.

You’re saying I’m not a Jew because my parents were Jews.

I’m a Jew

because I believe in You, Jesus –

the King of the Jews
the Root and Offspring of David.

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt allegiance:

“Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?”
(Romans 2:25-26)

Bottom line, Jesus?

It’s not about my outward appearance.
It’s about the condition of my heart.

If I truly love You
I’ll obey You.

It really is that simple.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, but his mother spoke up and said, ‘No! He is to be called John.’”
(Luke 1:59-60)

Her husband’s lack of belief had already cost them both, Jesus.

Elizabeth wasn’t about to make the same mistake.

You had told them their son’s name was to be John.

So John is what she named him.

May I obey You

with that same conviction!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…done in the body by the hands of men…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

Paul was referring to circumcision, Jesus.

But there are a lot of things people do
that give them a false sense of security:

knocking on wood
refusing to walk under a ladder
avoiding black cats

performing good deeds
making significant sacrifices
trying really hard
giving lots of money

in order to earn a place in heaven.

But protection, safety, security can be found in only one place:

You.

Pray this Lazaroo in complete trust:

“…called, ‘uncircumcised’…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

This may be the worst insult of all, Jesus!

It’s another way of saying I don’t belong to You.

If I don’t belong to You
I don’t get to go to heaven.

But circumcision in the flesh never saved anyone.

It was what You commanded Your people to do
to set them apart from the false gods of every other nation.

By faith in You
that’s exactly what You’ve done for me

through the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.”
(Galatians 2:12)

There’s always some group, isn’t there, Jesus?

In fact, they run in groups.

They’re the in-group – the ones who seem to be in power.

They’re the ones who think they’re better than others
who get most of us to believe it.

But that’s a lie!

They’re not better.

The reason they’re in a group

is because they don’t have the courage to stand alone

with You.
