Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him…”
(Colossians 2:6-7)

How can I send my roots down deep in You, Jesus?

The answer to that question is no big secret, is it?

Time spent with You studying and obeying Your Word.
Time spent with You in prayer.
Time spent with You loving Your people.

Does this describe my daily life?

Then I’m being rooted and built up in You.

Pray this Lazaroo with personal introspection:

“When the news reached the king of Ninevah, he rose from his throne…”
(Jonah 3:6)

That’s rare, isn’t it, Jesus?

Kings don’t usually rise from their thrones
when someone shows up with news.

But this news threatened his city and his own life.

Of course, he could have remained seated
waving it off as preposterous.

But when he heard Ninevah had only 40 days
before You were going to punish their wickedness

down deep, he knew:

They had it coming.

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.
