Be overwhelmed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘…how evil and bitter it is for you when you…have no awe of me,’ declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Awe isn’t an option, Jesus –

not when it comes to You.

When I gaze into the starry nighttime sky or hold a newborn baby

I should be filled with awe over Your amazing creativity
and the miracle of human life.

When I consider my wholly undeserved salvation

I should be overwhelmed in grateful awe for your love and mercy.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the LORD your God…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Most of the time it’s not You punishing us, is it, Jesus?

It’s that refusing to obey You
carries its own consequences.

If I’m a liar, people stop trusting me.
If I’m a thief, I’ll end up in jail.
If I’m unfaithful, my spouse may divorce me.

You made me.

You know what causes me to thrive
and what leads to my destruction.

Pray this Lazaroo to the God who provides everything you need:

“…why go to Assyria to drink water from the River?”
(Jeremiah 2:18)

Great question, Jesus.

By turning to other gods, Your people broke Your heart.
How dare they turn to lifeless idols?

My guess is You’re asking the same question of me every time I sin

buying one of Satan’s lies.
How dare I drink from his foul, poisonous cesspool?

You are my Living Water.

So long as I drink deeply, daily from Your Spring
I will never thirst.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…we are…created in Christ Jesus to do good works…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

But before I can do good, Jesus

I have to be good.

Bad people do bad things. Good people do good things.

I do what I am.

True, sometimes bad people do good things

usually from an ulterior motive.

Good people often do bad things

because we’re weak…still growing…battling temptation.

But by faith –

through my deepening, daily, 1on1 relationship with You –

those good works are on the way.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the wicked will be cut off from the land…”
(Proverbs 2:22)

Without a land to live in, Jesus

there’s no way to go home.

Of course, before You cut them off

the wicked believe they’re getting away with the evil they’re doing.

They don’t believe there’s a God in heaven who not only sees

but will do something about it.

But when they’re cut off, do they repent?

No.

They blame everyone else and curse You

till their dying breath.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Declare them guilty, O God!”
(Psalms 5:10)

David didn’t pray this prayer over people who’ve merely slipped, Jesus.

When I run into one of those, I beg You to forgive them,
pick them up, teach them, give them another chance.

After all…that’s what You keep doing for me.

But David has run into a few pathological liars

whose souls are wicked to the core.

He knows the heartbreak, ugliness and devastation that bunch can cause

…and so do You.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble trust:

“They are full of…malice.”
(Romans 1:29)

Protect me from enemies like this, Jesus!

Some people unintentionally cause harm.
Not these people.

They do it on purpose.
They plan it.

Those who are full of malice seethe with hatred, evil intent
fully intending to do harm to those they despise.

They delight in the suffering of others
proud of the fact that they’re the ones who caused it.

If one of them aims his arrows at me

break his bow.

Sunday, March 11, 2018

 

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“See the Lord is coming…to convict all the ungodly…”
(Jude 1:14-15)

It would absolutely take You – and You alone – to pull that off, Jesus!

Ungodly people tend to be slippery and unrepentant.
Defiant. Closed-minded.
Hard to convict.

It’s a challenge to get enough evidence together

to convict really clever ones.

Of course, since You know and see everything…

they’ll have no defense.

But the bigger miracle

will be making them admit their ungodliness.

Although something tells me…

You’ll manage.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with…every sort of evil…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)

That’s not something I want any part of, Jesus!

The evil I know about is bad enough.

But I’m sure there are evils Satan can come up with

that would make me blanch.

Not interested. Not curious.

Not even a little bit.

The contact I’ve had with evil thus far in my life

has burned that desire out of me.

Forever.
