Pray this Lazaroo with a responsive, willing heart:

“Next to him, the repairs were made by the Levites…”
(Nehemiah 3:17)

The Levites were incredibly busy, Jesus.

Their hands were already full!

They had to prepare to sing Psalms during Temple services

they performed construction and maintenance for the Temple
they served as guards, teachers and judges
and it was their responsibility to maintain the cities of refuge.

But they were needed, so they helped!

May that be my spirit

no matter how busy I think I am.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem (a city of refuge)…”
(1 Chronicles 6:67)

Those blessed cities of refuge, Jesus!

You provided them so a person who had accidentally killed someone could go to them to escape being killed by the avenger of blood.

Every one of us needs a place of refuge when we’ve done something we didn’t mean to do.

You, LORD!

You Are my place of Refuge

when everyone else
wants to string me up.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…a city of refuge…”
(1 Chronicles 6:57)

Your compassion is beyond measure, Jesus!

You designated these cities in Israel
where hunted men and women could flee.

If they had unintentionally killed someone
their avengers were not allowed to touch them.

There they could receive a fair trial – and if found innocent –
could stay safe until the death of the high priest.

You’re my High Priest and only Refuge, Jesus!

where I will stay forever
because You will never die.
