Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“‘Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.’ But Moses said, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.’ Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses…”
(Exodus 4:12-14)

Moses didn’t want to go where You told him to go

nor do what You told him to do, Jesus.

Sometimes, neither do I –

when it looks extremely hard

even impossible.

But Moses ended up doing it, didn’t he?

No matter what, that’s what I have to do.

Every time.

Pray this Lazaroo in vivid recall:

“Then the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.”
(Leviticus 4:30)

You made him use his finger to touch the blood of this goat, Jesus!

He probably didn’t want to
but that made it personal.

May this remind me of how achingly personal it got for You

for me

on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing wisdom:

“Stop chasing me! Why should I strike you down?”
(2 Samuel 2:22)

Abner had the ability to kill Asahel, Jesus

but he didn’t want to.

He knew if Asahel continued to press his attack, he’d have to defend himself

and it would end badly.

But of course, Asahel thought he could kill Abner, so he refused to listen

and it cost him his life.

O God!

Eradicate from my life every shred of empty bravado
and every foolish pursuit!
