Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…I will give you…both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”
(1 Kings 3:13-14)

In spite of Your amazing promises to him

Solomon strayed, Jesus.

How is that even possible?

I guess the same way I stray
in spite of all Your amazing promises to me.

Please rise up within me
to break this terrible cycle!

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit confidence:

“The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead them up to Mount Tabor. I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.’”
(Judges 4:6-7)

If it had been anyone else, Jesus

Barak might have responded:

“Yeah, right.”

But this was the prophet Deborah, Your chosen leader of Israel!

She spoke Your words, not her own.

Like You –

I’d be wise to do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live. Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.”
(Proverbs 4:4-6)

Look and see, Jesus!

I’m taking hold of Your words with all my heart
doing my best – always and forever –
to obey Your Word.

Give me wisdom!
Give me understanding!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark of the Lord’s covenant from Zion, the City of David. And all the Israelites came together to the king at the time of the festival in the seventh month.”
(2 Chronicles 5:2-3)

They obeyed the king, Jesus.

But why?

Billions of people have disobeyed kings’ commands.

Very simply, You put it in their hearts to obey Solomon.

So they did.

Monday, January 2, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“All Israel…were taken captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.”
(1 Chronicles 9:1)

That’s where unfaithfulness leads, isn’t it, Jesus?

Captivity.

Ironic. The reason anyone disobeys You

is to get out from under Your commands
opting for freedom to go their own way

not realizing that Your laws
are safeguards.

Once “free” of the umbrella of protection Your statutes afford

they become sitting ducks
for everything Satan wants to do to them

hastening the day
when they’ll be manacled
staring hopelessly through bars.

Be duly warned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value…and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 5:17-18)

This answers one of my questions, Jesus:

Ignorance of Your Law is no excuse.

If I refuse to study Your Word to learn Your commands

I will pay the consequences.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority.”
(2 Peter 2:9-10)

There are times and circumstances, Jesus

when none of us likes being told what to do.

And of course, there are evil people in authority

whose sinful commands must be disobeyed.

But may I always be wholeheartedly responsive

to the commands of Your Word!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Then [Jesus] told them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’ They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.”
(John 2:8-9)

Any time You issue an order Jesus

I want to hear it
and obey it

because I know I’ll be as blessed by it

as was the master of that banquet!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations.”
(Ephesians 2:14-15)

What two groups, Jesus?

The Jews and everybody else –

brought together by faith in You, their Messiah.

When You died on the cross and rose from the grave three days later

You replaced the demands of the law…

with Yourself.
