Pray this Lazaroo in determined passion:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom…”
(Colossians 1:28)

It’s important to declare Your Name to our family, friends, city, nation and world, Jesus!

But having done so, it’s essential to admonish them
warning of the consequences if they reject You.

It’s vital that we teach them all about You
so they’ll learn to love and obey You as we do.

But the only way they’ll accept what we say

is when we speak with Your holy wisdom!

Wednesday, May 26, 2021

 

Pray this Lazaroo with deep gratitude:

“…my fellow workers.”
(Philemon 1:24)

What would I do without them, Jesus?

Sometimes they’re official –
employees working for the same company.

Sometimes they’re volunteers –
serving alongside me in Your church.

Sometimes they’re family members
helping me tackle a project
too big for me to handle alone.

They might even be a stranger
who helps me change a tire
when they see me on the side of the road.

But of this I’m certain:

every one of them has been sent by You.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.”
(2 Corinthians 2:17)

You reward everyone who serves You, Jesus!

Some earn their living serving You and Your people.
Others serve You and Your people without pay

on this earth.

But oh, the untold treasure they’re laying up in heaven!

where moth and rust do not destroy
and strangers, friends, family and the government

cannot steal.

Friday, September 18, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“We ought therefore to show hospitality…”
(3 John 1:8)

It’s not enough to feel hospitable, is it, Jesus?

You want me to show it.
Others want me to show it.

But do I?

It’s so easy to become consumed
with my life, my work, my family, my pursuits –

to leave others to focus on their own lives
while I focus on mine.

Clearly, however, that’s not what You desire.

Open my heart, LORD!
to everyone You’re calling into my embrace.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”
(2 John 1:6)

We’re not to obey everything, are we, Jesus?

Obedience – all by itself – is not the goal.

There are countless people issuing orders in my direction –

presidents, governors, mayors, bosses, doctors, experts, friends, family.

When should I obey them?

When their orders are in harmony with Your commands.

When should I wisely but staunchly disobey them?

When doing so would require me to disobey You.

Sunday, May 19, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo with growing passion:

“This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven.”
(Colossians 1:23)

This is the gospel – the good news – that I’ve heard and believed, Jesus.

It’s the gospel that many of my friends and family have heard.

It’s changed our lives.

But although You have proclaimed it to every creature under heaven

not every creature has been as blessed as I’ve been

to hear it.

It’s my responsibility to tackle that problem.

I know what they will do.

to get ‘er done.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobriety of mind:

“So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people…”
(Malachi 2:9)

To be despised – if it’s only by one or two people –

is painful, Jesus.

To be humiliated with somebody watching

is awful.

But to be despised and humiliated before everybody?

Family, friends, total strangers?
Pretty close to unbearable.

What would cause You to do something like that to a person?

Maybe because they’ve tried to make everyone they know
despise and humiliate You.
