Pray this Lazaroo in warm-hearted gratitude:

“…all their glory is like the flowers of the field…”
(1 Peter 1:24)

I know field flowers don’t last long, Jesus

but as they raise their heads under Your bright sun
gently nodding under a passing breeze

they sure are beautiful.

So I’m grateful.

Whatever glory I gain on this earth –

though transitory –

is nevertheless a gift from You.

I don’t deserve it
but I appreciate it.

It’s a sweetener in the sometimes bitter tea of life

on this sin-cursed earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with no excuses obedience:

“But you have insulted the poor.”
(James 2:6)

Not a good idea, is it, Jesus?

If I insult the poor
I’ve insulted You, their Maker.

It’s easy for me to judge – without truly knowing – how a person became poor

then conclude they’re unworthy of my help.

But You didn’t command me to be kind

only to those who don’t deserve their poverty.

I’m to recognize that if You’ve put something in my hand

I’d better be willing to share it.

Pray this Lazaroo by faith, with anticipation:

“… the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his nobles and officials.”
(Esther 2:18)

Many of us have had birthday, graduation or retirement parties, Jesus.

But not many of us have had a king name a banquet after us.

What did Esther do to deserve such an honor?

Nothing.

Because of Your hand on her life, it wasn’t what she did.

It was what she was going to do.

What’s in my future for Your glory, LORD?

Do it!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit on all people.’”
(Acts 2:17)

I sure hope these are the last days, Jesus

because we desperately need You
to pour out Your Spirit on all people!

including this person.

No, I don’t deserve You to do that for me.

You know that.

But I would love it, if in Your mercy, You would.

So would the people who live and work around me. 😉
