Thursday, September 19, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…you notice me…”
(Ruth 2:10)

Ruth was stunned to be noticed by Boaz, Jesus.

She didn’t know You were at work
preparing his heart to be her husband

preparing her to become great-grandmother to King David
whose line extended all the way

to You.

But she was too humble to predict any of that!

Rise up in me with that same humility, Holy Spirit!

Knowing I don’t deserve to be noticed
being thrilled when –

because of Your love and mercy –

I am.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
(1 Corinthians 2:8)

It seems so clear to me, Jesus –

why not them?

They saw You face-to-Face, in the flesh!

…while I never have.

They were witnesses to Your miracles!

…while I’ve only read about them.

They heard You speak!

…while I still eagerly long to hear Your voice.

But You’ve granted me

the gift of faith.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…the way of obedience to the LORD’s commands.”
(Judges 2:17)

Your “way of obedience,” Jesus?

Let me take a stab at it:

You expect me to obey You fully.
None of this “I did some of it” stuff.

You expect me to obey You without excuse.
None of this, “I couldn’t do it because…” malarkey.

You expect me to obey You immediately.
None of this, “When I get around to it” procrastination business.

So…is that pretty close? đŸ˜‰

Act wisely, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they disobey their parents…”
(Romans 1:30)

Some parents ought to be disobeyed, Jesus –

anytime they tell a child to do something
You tell them not to do.

Your Word trumps parental authority.

But when it’s anything else –

even if it’s something the child doesn’t like –

that child would be very wise to obey mom or dad.

You’re watching.

Children who honor their fathers and mothers
tend to live a long time.

Those who don’t?
Not so much.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“They…forded the river…”
(Joshua 2:23)

– the very river the entire army was about to cross on dry land, Jesus!

But this first time
Joshua’s two spies had to get wet to make it across.

No surprise.

You do it both ways, don’t You?

Sometimes You perform a miracle.

But most of the time You supply the strength
for me to accomplish Your tasks the old-fashioned way

requiring me to work, stretch, struggle.

But that’s okay!

Either way…

I win.

Pray this Lazaroo with bated breath:

“…miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you…”
(Acts 2:22)

…and You’re still doing them today, Jesus!

You’ve worked miracles!
Have I had eyes to see them?

You’ve performed wonders!
Have I been paying attention?

You’ve shown me signs!
Have I had a discerning heart to read them?

You’re the same, Jesus –

yesterday, today and forever.

Give me eyes that see…

a mind that pays attention…

a discerning heart 

because I don’t want to miss a single thing!

Take a clear-eyed look, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…children who do not yet know good from bad…”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

Those have to be some pretty young kids, Jesus

because most little ones catch on awfully quick.

Oh, they may not understand why something is good or bad

but even as babies they can immediately tell
when their mothers and fathers are pleased or displeased.

You’ve made it clear:

A child’s character is revealed
by what they do.

So is mine.
God help me, so is mine.

“Phillip found Nathanael and told him…”
(John 1:45)

All it took was one encounter with You, Jesus…

and Phillip had to go tell somebody!

How many encounters have I had with You?

How many times have You intervened in my life to help me?

And what about the most important, life-changing time of all –

when You gave me the gift of faith to believe in You
which changed my destiny from hell…to heaven?

I’ve gotta go tell somebody!

Pray this Lazaroo in deep appreciation:

“…Moses and Aaron…”
(Numbers 3:39)

They were quite a team, Jesus!

You spoke to Moses

who spoke to Aaron

who spoke to the people.

Moses felt inadequate

so You sent him Aaron.

I, too, feel inadequate.

Nor is it merely a feeling.
It’s the truth.

Who will You send to me?

Oh. Right.

I’m surrounded by these precious, sent people!

And if in the future I need anyone else

in Your perfect way and time

they will appear.

“He has performed mighty deeds with his arm…”
(Luke 1:51)

Mighty deeds are Your specialty, Jesus.

Praise be to Your glorious Name!

But that’s not the phrase that catches my eye.

Your mom said You performed them with Your arm –
and that’s before she had seen You work any miracle.

She was referring to Your heavenly Father.

Strictly speaking, God is Spirit. He has no arms.

But You were His arm on this earth for 33 years

as now…am I.
