Be very careful, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…horses and their riders will fall…”
(Haggai 2:22)

A rider on a horse may feel safer, Jesus, almost invincible.

The horse raises them up high off the ground
making them feel above it all.

The horse is faster than soldiers on foot
able to race away from danger.

But it’s an illusion, isn’t it?

A rider on a horse is a bigger target

and the bigger they are
the harder they fall.

Maybe I’d better stay humble

and not get up on my high horse.

Pray this Lazaroo with grateful thanksgiving:

“…Palal son of Uzai worked opposite the angle and the tower projecting from the upper palace near the court of the guard. Next to him, Pedaiah son of Parosh and the temple servants living on the hill of Ophel made repairs up to a point opposite the Water Gate toward the east and the projecting tower.”
(Nehemiah 3:25-26)

The projecting tower was the king’s last refuge in case of danger.

Jesus, You are not only my last refuge

You are also my first refuge–
my hiding place at all times!

Pray this Lazaroo with strategic intent:

“Consider then and realize…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

The danger about life, Jesus

is that I keep tacking on day after day
allowing others to make my schedule for me
doing whatever pops into my mind

without taking time to carefully evaluate

where all this is leading me.

I know I should take stock more often than I do.

But if I don’t build into my schedule
reflective, 1on1 time with You

it’s not likely to happen, is it?

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…turning neither to the right nor to the left…”
(2 Samuel 2:19)

That can be a wonderful trait, Jesus

when I’m headed in the right direction.

No detours. No distractions. No time outs.

Straight for the righteous goal.

But it’s a terrible quality when I’m rushing down the wrong path

stubbornly refusing to listen to anyone
who warns me of the danger.

God grant me the wisdom to know when to listen

and when to plug my ears.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“He assigned…80,000 to be stonecutters…”
(2 Chronicles 2:18)

Not an easy job, Jesus.

Stone cutting requires skill, strength, training.

Not a particularly safe job, either.

Pieces of stone can put out an eye.
Hammers can miss their mark and crush

hands
fingers
arms
legs
feet.

Still, the job had to be done.

Your temple had to be built.

Many of the jobs You assign are like that –

requiring skill, strength, training, risk-taking courage –

because Your kingdom has to be built.
