Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Did I not clearly reveal myself to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?”
(1 Samuel 2:27, 29)

We think we’re getting away with it, Jesus

…but we’re not.

You see every underhanded thing we do.

Help me keep my hands on top of the table!

Seek correction, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria. You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the Lord has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them.”
(Jeremiah 2:36-37)

Egypt and Assyria are not my problem, Jesus.

But you see. You know.
Is there anything or anyone I’m trusting instead of You?

If so, show me!
I hereby reject them

and fully, wholeheartedly, irrevocably embrace You!

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn recognition:

“Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?”
(Hebrews 3:16-17)

It’s bad enough to miss Your will when I haven’t heard from You, Jesus

but it’s inexcusable when I have.
No wonder You were so angry with Your people!

The thing is…

I’ve read the Bible.
I’ve heard.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing confidence:

“…I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.”
(Exodus 3:20)

Mind-blowing, Jesus.

Before you turned Moses’ staff into a snake, then back into a staff
before you turned his hand leprous, then healed

before the plagues of blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock deaths, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, firstborn deaths…

You orchestrated exactly how it was going to play out…

as You are doing with me.

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into…a land flowing with milk and honey.”
(Exodus 3:17)

You kept Your promise, Jesus!

You always do.

Of course, there were a lot of tests, trials and battles

between the time Your people left and the time they arrived – 

as there almost always is.

Because of their repeated disobedience

many of them didn’t get to experience that milk and honey.

Help me learn from their mistakes!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Proclaim…to the fortresses of Egypt…”
(Amos 3:9)

For many years, Jesus

Egypt was a friend to Your people

…until they became an enemy.

That’s how it goes, isn’t it?

My life is made up of seasons.

During one season it goes this way.

During the next season, it may go very differently.

While I’m in a particular season

I think I can change it – or keep it.

But I can’t.

You alone are the God of all my seasons.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable obedience:

“…you shall not enter it…”
(Deuteronomy 1:37)

What a devastating thing to hear, Jesus!

Moses took his life in his hands to return to Egypt
in order to lead Your people to the Promised Land.

When the people sinned at its border
he had to endure 40 years of trials in the desert.

Then it was time to go in.
Without Moses.

Because he broke faith with You.

What’s my promised land on this earth, Father?

Help me be faithful!

Take notes, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So he got up…”
(Matthew 2:21)

Forgive me, Jesus, but isn’t that what Your stepdad did

when an angel told him to take Your mom home to be his wife
even though she was pregnant?

and what he did when an angel told him
to take You and Your mom to Egypt?

Now, he’s obeying the angel again –

taking You and Your mom back home to Israel.

Each time He got up and did it.

Sounds like a plan.

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute trust:

“After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph…”
(Matthew 2:19)

Your mom, Joseph and You had to sit tight, Jesus

until Your Heavenly Father removed the man
who wanted to kill You.

Then Your angel showed up.

In a dream.

That couldn’t have been an ordinary dream!

or Joseph wouldn’t have trusted it.

How will I know if You send an angel to me?

I don’t have to worry, do I?
I’ll know.
