Sunday, May 5, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Men of Israel, listen to this:”
(Acts 2:22)

Because of what You had just done, Jesus

You had their attention.

So Peter proceeded to seize the moment and tell them about You.

Sounds like a plan!

But how often have I been totally oblivious?

How many times have I failed to recognize my opportunity?

O God!

Please help me recognize very time
You’ve grabbed their attention.

Then help me seize that priceless moment
to tell them about You.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful allegiance:

“…he will lead Israel to inherit it.”
(Deuteronomy 1:38)

That’s exactly what You enabled Joshua to do, Jesus!

He took over from Moses and led Your people
into the land You promised to give them.

Isn’t that what every leader is called to do?

To gratefully receive the baton from those who’ve led before
following You every step of the way

in order to lead Your people into the fullness
of Your promises?

O God!

Give us such leaders!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Finding Philip, he said to him, ‘Follow me.’”
(John 1:43)

You deliberately left Galilee to find Phillip, Jesus

just like You deliberately chose, called and saved me.

There was nothing in my sinful human nature that would have chosen You

until You chose me.

Only then did I begin to grasp that You love me so much

that You went to the cross to pay for my sins

then rose from the dead

so we could be together

forever.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Anyone else who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.”
(Numbers 3:38)

I don’t pretend to know every reason behind that command, Jesus.

But I can guess one of them:

You wanted Your people to regard You
with knee-trembling awe.

It’s hard for us to leave our sinful ways.

We need all the incentive we can get!

That rule is no longer in effect.

The sanctuary is long gone.

But I will forever approach You

in reverent awe.

Wednesday, May 1, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“His mercy extends to those who fear him…”
(Luke 1:50)

How ironic, Jesus!

If I fear You
I have no reason to be afraid.

But if I don’t fear You
I have every reason to be afraid.

When I fear disappointing You –

not to mention defying You –

I live a better, cleaner, happier life.

But if it didn’t bother me at all to disobey You

that would demonstrate my lack of belief in You

and bring down Your wrath.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“He shall burn all the fat on the altar…”
(Leviticus 4:26)

Just as You commanded the priest to offer an animal on the altar, Jesus

so You invite me to offer myself to You as a living sacrifice
holy and pleasing in Your sight.

As I do, please enable me to burn up all the fat!

By that, I mean those things I’m doing that are unhealthy –

physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually –

whatever is cheating me out of Your best.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…the people…came to him from everywhere”
(Mark 1:45)

There’s a simple reason for that, Jesus:

You created every one of them.

They’re all Yours –

those who know You and embrace it
those who reject You and deny it.

Red yellow, black, brown and white

they are precious in Your sight.
You love all the people of the world.

That’s why You died on the cross

paying for the sins of everyone who trusts in You.

Whosoever will.
Even me.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…the God of…Isaac…”
(Exodus 3:16)

It helps to see who You’re willing to be associated with, Jesus.

Isaac was born when his dad Abraham was 100 years old
and his mother Sarah was 90!

Abraham almost sacrificed him
because that’s what he thought You wanted.

No, Isaac wasn’t perfect.

He lied about his wife.
Played favorites with his children.

But You accomplished great things through this flawed man.

Please, LORD!

Accomplish great things through even more deeply flawed

me.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“Having been warned in a dream…”
(Matthew 2:22)

Thank You for doing that for Joseph, Father.

I’d love You to do that for me!

Maybe You already have, many times.

But did I understand them?
If so, did I heed the warning?

If not, that might tend to reduce the number of warnings You give me in the future.

Oh, Jesus! Teach me how to recognize the difference

between an ordinary dream
and one imparting a message from You.

Wise up, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But the LORD God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’”
(Genesis 3:9)

Adam and Eve were attempting to hide from You, Jesus.

From You!
Seriously?

How foolish could they possibly be?
You see everything, everybody, everywhere.

But that’s what sin does.

It not only makes me want to hide from You

It makes me stupid.

I don’t want to stupidly waste my time trying to hide from the One who sees all.

Guess I’d better stop my sinning.
