Pray this Lazaroo with big picture perspective:

“…I must leave them to the one who comes after me.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

Important reminder, Jesus.

All the stuff I’ve accumulated
will get left behind the moment I draw my last breath.

Maybe I should love things less

and love You more.

Maybe I should invest far greater time, energy and resources

in the lives of the people who inhabit this planet with me
and with whom I will spend eternity

if I make sure they hear about You.

Monday, October 14, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-given awareness:

“Is it not the rich who are exploiting you?”
(James 2:6)

Not all the rich, Jesus

but some of them.

Maybe even some of the people I look up to

while I look down on those I should honor.

That can’t please You too much.

It doesn’t me, either!

How did I get so messed up?

Open my eyes, Father!
Clarify my thinking, Jesus!
Teach me Your truth, Holy Spirit!

May I treat every person You’ve created

with the respect due You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you…write them on the tablet of your heart.”
(Proverbs 3:3)

So, Jesus…

my heart has a tablet.

I know – not the kind of tablet sold in electronics stores

but a real tablet nonetheless

the kind that goes deep into my very being
forever changing my thoughts, words, behavior.

Show me how to write Your words on the tablet of my heart, Holy Spirit!

ensuring that I will mature, grow, understand
and honor You.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed wonder:

“Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses…”
(Hebrews 3:3)

Reading those words today seems a no-brainer, Jesus.

But when they were written
most of the Jews would have considered them blasphemous.

Moses was the one through whom You worked miraculous signs and wonders to bring Your people out of Egypt

who led them 40 years in the wilderness
through whom You worked even more huge miracles.

The Jews didn’t know what we do:

It was You.

Pray this Lazaroo in overflowing adoration:

(Psalms 5:12)

Yes, You do, Jesus!

They follow You with their whole hearts
and reap the benefits of walking in Your footsteps

experiencing the joy of living each day
in deep, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship with You.

But what truly boggles my mind

is that You also bless the wannabe righteous
those not quite yet thinking, speaking, acting
as they know they should – 

…which is how I get to enjoy Your blessings.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Prepare a guest room for me…”
(Philemon 1:22)

Ha! The Apostle Paul invited himself right over, didn’t he, Jesus?

Not only was he writing them a letter
asking them to lovingly forgive their runaway worker

now he calls in a few favors
reminding them that they owe him their very lives.

Wow. Paul pulls out all the stops –

in behalf of someone little regarded by the world
but precious in Your sight.

May I go and do likewise.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter submission:

“Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden…?”
(Job 3:23)

Well…because every man’s – and woman’s! – life is hidden from them.

Isn’t that right, Jesus?

Just about the time I think I’ve got it all figured out

I’m shown quite clearly – and sometimes stunningly –
that I don’t.

You alone know the way I’m about to take.

I can carefully lay plans

that will never be realized

because I’m not in control of my life.

You Are.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…not to be slanderers…”
(Titus 2:3)

That’s a hard thing not to be, Jesus.

When I get down on someone
I tend to run them down to others.

Why do I do that?

I certainly don’t want anyone doing that to me!

But what goes around comes around, doesn’t it?

You’re watching…listening.

Besides, why am I getting down on anyone?

Sure, they’re struggling, falling short
just like I am.

Help me remember, LORD!

to honor and value others
above myself.

Of course, everything in Your Word is trustworthy, Jesus

so when You set up what You’re about to say like this

You’re telling me it’s huge.

Not only that…

but it’s a “saying” –

something You want frequently repeated
so Your people get it deeply embedded in their DNA –

something You probably want me to memorize.

Okay. Got it. Ready:

The next words I read
are gonna be somethin’ else!
