Pray this Lazaroo in sobered awareness:

“After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move, only then are the Kohathites to come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or they will die.”
(Numbers 4:15)

When the oxen stumbled and Uzzah took hold of the Ark of The Covenant

You struck him down, Jesus
and he died.

When it comes to Your holy things, You don’t mess around!

Neither should I.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh…”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-4)

This is so good to know, Jesus!

You’re telling me if it’s not happening right now, don’t worry.

It’s just not the right time.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“If we died with him…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

That’s a disconcerting thought, Jesus

at first.

I mean, the very idea of dying is disturbing.

Having company while I do it doesn’t help a whole lot.

But when I realize that that the One I’m dying with is You

identifying with what You did for me on the cross
and making the irrevocable decision to die to my sins

that’s just about the greatest death
I could possibly imagine.

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

“…the first lot was for them…”
(1 Chronicles 6:54)

Were the descendants of Aaron lucky, Jesus?

After all, they were casting lots.

No. It wasn’t luck.

Yes, the lot was cast into the priest’s lap
but its every decision came straight from You.

To this very moment, no one says or does anything

unless you order it
or allow it.

That doesn’t remove the responsibility of my free will.

It just reminds me that my will

can’t thwart Yours.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“There will be no survivors…”
(Obadiah 1:18)

You were referring to the house of Esau, Jesus

but it also applies to the house of me.

No one survives their time on this earth.

The world’s oldest living person died three days ago.

Until You return, the day is coming
when the world’s youngest living person will do the same –

as will everyone in-between

including me.

But that’s okay, because after I close my eyes here

I get to see You.

Seek the signs of God’s timing as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…where he stayed until the death of Herod.”
(Matthew 2:15)

Sometimes that’s what has to happen before I can move, Jesus.

Somebody has to quit
disappear
get fired
or die.

It isn’t safe to move until they’re gone.

Waiting for that to happen isn’t easy.
But when I get antsy, it helps to remember:

When – and if – it needs to happen
You’ll bring it to pass right on time

not one minute early
not one minute late.
