Sunday, April 7, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo with an attentive, grateful heart:

“…one we have had…”
(2 John 1:5)

I keep asking for more, Jesus

when You’ve already loaded me with treasures!

I’m like a child at Christmas frantically unwrapping present after present –

ribbons and paper flying everywhere –
hardly stopping to notice the gifts already unwrapped.

I need to stop with my begging for awhile…

take time to deeply appreciate
the blessings You’ve piled high all around me.

Somewhere in the stack

I may even discover the very thing I need.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered, grateful reflection:

“Your wickedness will punish you…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

There’s a reason why You forbid me to do certain things, Jesus!

It’s not because You’re a kill-joy.
It’s not because You don’t want me to have a good time.

It’s certainly not because You don’t love me
don’t long to see me experience life to the fullest.

It’s because there are thoughts, words and actions

that carry their own terrible punishment.

Out of pure love You tell me:

Don’t go there.

Consider carefully, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Do not love…anything in the world.”
(1 John 2:15)

That’s…a strong command, Jesus.

But obviously, it’s one I need
or You wouldn’t have given it.

Sometimes I become so enamored with one of Your gifts

that I become attached to it
think I’ve gotta have it
gotta keep it.

Wrong.

I’m going to have to say goodbye

to everything I wear, drive, live in,
use, eat, enjoy, hear or see.

This world is not my home.

I’m just passing through.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from dread of the LORD…”
(Isaiah 2:10)

As if, Jesus.

Now, where are we gonna hide?

You made the rocks and the ground on which they lie.

You know the exact location
of every cave, nook, closet, cranny and hidey-hole.

No one’s ever going to hide anything from You…

But there’s no need to dread!

All I have to do is surrender

to become the person You’ve created me to be.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who reveals Himself:

“…the way of truth…”
(2 Peter 2:2)

There are a lot of facts out there, Jesus.

Anyone with an eye, an ear, a mouth and a brain can state them.

There are many partial truths floating throughout society

for those who wish to ponder them.

But there’s only one way of truth

only one opportunity to see the whole of it.

You Are The Way

The Truth

and The Life.

No one comes to the Father except through You.

Be on your guard! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the little foxes that ruin the vineyards…”
(Song of Songs 2:15)

Sometimes it’s the big sins that cause us to crash and burn, Jesus.

But when Satan fails to take us down that way
he sends in his little foxes.

They’re the sins we tell ourselves are “no big deal.”

They’re the ones “even good Christians commit.”

Which, of course, is the point.

That’s who Satan ferociously targets:

those determined to follow You.

He’s already got the other ones.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying certainty:

“…through the…enduring word of God.”
(1 Peter 1:23)

A lot of things come and go, Jesus

but Your Word stays.

With every passing year

the words of most become increasingly irrelevant.

But with every passing millennium

Your Word is proven perfect
over and over again.

Since by faith in You I’m going to live forever

I may as well live by the only Word
that does the same.

The grass withers and the flowers fall

but Your Word endures forever.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…a chasing after the wind.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:17)

What a perfect picture of futility You’ve given me, Jesus.

Show me everywhere in my life I’m doing this.

Help me stop!

Did I say, “my” life?

God help me.

It’s not mine.
It’s Yours.

Forgetting that is what sets me off
on another wind-chasing waste of time.

Chasing after the wind is NOT going after something too big.

In Your power, there’s no such thing.

It’s failing to check with You first.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered assessment:

“Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world…to inherit the kingdom…?”
(James 2:5)

Poor here, Jesus…

rich there.

I’ll take that!

It’s not that the rich can’t go to heaven, is it?

It’s that riches can blind me to how desperately I need You.

So maybe that’s why You haven’t answered some of my prayers.

Perhaps You’re providing me with the necessary incentive
to keep talking to You.

That’s pretty sad, isn’t it?
