Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon…”
(Daniel 2:24)

Took a lot of courage, Jesus.

Daniel was one of the wise men
Arioch was ordered to execute.

Daniel didn’t know this man would listen to him.

By showing up on his doorstep
Daniel could have become Arioch’s first victim.

But filled with confidence in You, Daniel marched straight into the danger.

Help me follow in the footsteps of Daniel!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“He assigned…80,000 to be stonecutters…”
(2 Chronicles 2:18)

Not an easy job, Jesus.

Stone cutting requires skill, strength, training.

Not a particularly safe job, either.

Pieces of stone can put out an eye.
Hammers can miss their mark and crush

hands
fingers
arms
legs
feet.

Still, the job had to be done.

Your temple had to be built.

Many of the jobs You assign are like that –

requiring skill, strength, training, risk-taking courage –

because Your kingdom has to be built.

 Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion: 

“ ‘I have one request’…’You may make it,’ she said.”
(1 Kings 2:16)

It’s one thing to let someone make a request, Jesus

quite another to grant it.

The moment Bathsheba allowed Adonijah to make his request, she felt obligated to say yes.

Needlessly.

In this case, foolishly.

Please remind me to separate the two!

Please give me the wisdom to discern among

good
better
best.

along with the courage to reject

every request
that isn’t best.
