Never forget! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…Shimei stayed in Jerusalem for a long time. But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran off…At this, he saddled his donkey and went…in search of his slaves.”
(1 Kings 2:38-40)

Solomon warned Shimei not to leave the city, Jesus!

After three years, the warning had faded in his mind…

but not in Solomon’s.

Shimei’s faded memory cost him his life.

It doesn’t matter how long ago You tell me something, does it, Father?

Your Word still stands.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will overturn royal thrones…”
(Haggai 2:22)

When royalty becomes corrupt, Jesus

their fate is sealed –

unless they repent.

No matter how many generations of powerful heirs have reigned

You can bring their line of succession to a halt

in an instant.

But all who look to You and Your loving sacrifice on the cross

will reign with You forever

in the only true royalty
that endures.

My hope –

my only hope –

is in You, Jesus!
Now and forever.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“If we endure, we will also reign with him.”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

I’m so thankful for that promise, Jesus!

You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I won.
You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I overcame.
You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I knocked it out of the park.

You said all I’d have to do to reign with You

is endure.

Why am I grateful?

Because some days
that’s all I can do.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the only One who is from everlasting to everlasting:

“…the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever.”
(1 Peter 2:24)

Everything we know has a beginning and an end, Jesus…

except You.

You had no beginning. You have no end.

You’ve always been.
You will always be.

Your Word is the same, because Your Word flows from You!

Your Word stands forever.

If I stand on Your Word

then I, too –

though I have had a beginning –

will have no end.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying certainty:

“…through the…enduring word of God.”
(1 Peter 1:23)

A lot of things come and go, Jesus

but Your Word stays.

With every passing year

the words of most become increasingly irrelevant.

But with every passing millennium

Your Word is proven perfect
over and over again.

Since by faith in You I’m going to live forever

I may as well live by the only Word
that does the same.

The grass withers and the flowers fall

but Your Word endures forever.

Pray this Lazaroo in stubborn faith:

“Teach the older men to be…sound…in endurance.”
(Titus 2:2)

By the time these men reach their advanced years, Jesus

You expect them to exhibit this amazing trait of endurance.

Of course, in many cases, that has to be taught

because none of likes what it means:

hardship, disappointment
waiting, waiting, waiting.

The only way to teach it or learn it

is to believe or discover
that when You promise it

in Your perfect way and time
You come through.
