Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…except Caleb…”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

Sometimes that’s what it takes, Jesus.

I have to stand alone.

When everybody else agrees to disobey Your command

I have to be willing to stick out
be ridiculed.

It doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks or does or says.

The only thing that matters is pleasing You.

Because after my time on this earth

it won’t be them I’m standing before
to give account of my one and only life.

It will be You.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard…”
(John 1:40)

Am I, LORD?

Have I heard?

With you, Jesus, working ears isn’t the issue.

Neither is being in the crowd
where Your Word is preached.

It’s not being able to quote it
nor discussing what was said.

I haven’t truly heard until I’ve obeyed it

been challenged to disavow it
and refused

been tempted to desert You
and stood firm.

Only then

have I truly heard.

Friday, September 15, 2017

 

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“The Merarites were appointed to take care of the…bases…”
(Numbers 3:36)

The base may be the easiest part to overlook, Jesus

and often is.

It’s down there on bottom, almost out of sight.

All of the attention is paid to what’s above.
Nobody notices the base until it fails to do its job.

What an honor to be an unnoticed but incredibly important base in Your kingdom, Father!

Freeing me to focus on never failing
to hold up others.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…the baby in my womb leaped for joy.”
(Luke 1:44)

I know late-term babies sometimes leap when they’re startled, Jesus…

but infant John the Baptist leaped for joy
when he heard Your mother’s voice?

Yes.

That’s exactly what happened.
I believe it to the bone.

By normal reckoning, neither of You should have been in any mother’s womb.

But by the miracle-working power of Your Father
according to His plan

You were.

I love it when miracles are afoot!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“When he is made aware of the sin he committed…”
(Leviticus 4:23)

It’s possible to break one of Your rules and not know it, Jesus…

sort of.

But because Your rules are there to help and protect me

down deep, I usually know:

Something’s amiss.

I’m at least vaguely aware I’ve crossed some sort of line
done something unwise, even potentially harmful.

So when a courageous person dares to point out my sin

in reality

I have no excuse.

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid determination:

“This is what you are to say to the Israelites…”
(Exodus 3:14)

What a responsibility that would be, Jesus –

to have You give me a message for Your people.

I’d be terrified not to give it!

Equally terrified to somehow get it wrong.

Sobering stuff…

because along with every one of Your followers
You have given me a message for Your people
straight from Your Word.

Please help me deliver it with piercing effectiveness

and get it 100% right.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
(Matthew 2:18)

If someone I loved truly ceased to exist

I’d refuse to be comforted too, Jesus!

But there’s hope for everyone I love

who’s put their trust in You.

You’re the Giver of Eternal Life!

For now I may have to go without seeing them
but I know I’ll rejoin them in heaven.

With You, in You, through You, because of You

it’s never “Goodbye.”
It’s: “See you later.”

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“She also gave some to her husband, who was with her…”
(Genesis 3:6)

So much for Adam being the innocent party, Jesus.

The guy was right there, keeping his mouth shut

until he took a bite.

Talk about no excuse!

He knew better.
But he didn’t do better.

However…even as I shake my head in judgment

I know someone else who has pulled the same stunt
time and time and time again:

Moi.

Help me, dear God!

Please.
