Pray this Lazaroo in stark realization:

“Then the Lord God said to the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’”
(Genesis 3:13)

I know that feeling, Jesus –

I know it well –

the sick stomach that comes when You confront me
when the Holy Spirit removes the blinders
when I see exactly how much I have hurt You.

Because that’s the worst of it.

Not the guilt, though it’s terrible.
Not the consequences, which are either here or on the way.

But how I’ve betrayed You.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“Hear the word of the LORD…”
(Hosea 4:1)

Hearing Your Word Jesus

is more than allowing my ears to register a sound.

It’s more than understanding what You say –
more, even, than agreeing with what You say.

It’s doing what You say.

Hearing – really hearing –
always results in obedient action.

So if I don’t obey

I haven’t heard You.

And if I don’t obey

the consequences You’ve warned me about will befall me

whether I’ve heard them or not.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But Asahel would not stop…”
(2 Samuel 2:21)

Asahel was racing toward certain death, Jesus.

Abner warned him again and again.

Asahel wouldn’t listen
wouldn’t stop.

So he died.
Totally, his own fault.

You will only warn me so many times, Holy Spirit.

If I don’t stop, the consequences are on me.

Maybe it’s to make better choices.
Maybe it’s to end destructive friendships.
Maybe it’s to stop saying something.
Maybe it’s to change my behavior.

Help me listen!

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the LORD your God…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Most of the time it’s not You punishing us, is it, Jesus?

It’s that refusing to obey You
carries its own consequences.

If I’m a liar, people stop trusting me.
If I’m a thief, I’ll end up in jail.
If I’m unfaithful, my spouse may divorce me.

You made me.

You know what causes me to thrive
and what leads to my destruction.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…they quickly turned from the way in which their fathers had walked….”
(Judges 2:17)

What a devastating outcome, Jesus!

These people were taught right.
They had good examples set before them.

Their parents hadn’t failed.

They had.

They couldn’t wait to throw off the restraints of righteousness

hurrying to leave the safe, narrow path.

Instead, they lusted after the broad, popular path of wickedness.

Rejecting their heritage
they plunged themselves into the inescapable consequences

of the dark, hellish pit.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“As a result…”
(Mark 1:45)

That’s what every one of my actions has, doesn’t it, Jesus?

A result.

It’s what every word I speak has, too:

a result.

Nor is my mind exempt! Every thought I think has

a result.

Since that’s the case, I dare not

do what I want to do
say what I feel like saying
let my thoughts run

without first thinking through their consequences and what will happen

as a result.

Face it…as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…all will be condemned who…have delighted in wickedness.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:12)

At its best, Jesus…

wickedness isn’t as good as advertised.

Fun? Yes, it can be.

Pleasure? For sure.

But it’s not quite all that.

So I have to hype and pretend
to make up for the oversell –

a glass of over-steeped iced tea
short six teaspoons of sugar.

But the worst part is how quickly it’s over

…when I’m left with the aftermath

…the emptiness

…and the consequences.
