Pray this Lazaroo in deeper understanding:

“Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry…”
(Genesis 4:3-5)

When You correct me, Jesus

may I never react defensively.

Help me respond with a humble, passionate desire

to please You in everything I think, say and do.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…Mary…was pledged to be married…and was expecting a child…the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.”
(Luke 2:5-7)

Just like then, Jesus

some of those You love so much
have no room for You in their hearts.

May my heart be so full of love for You

that it makes up the difference!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“When the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed. Then he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall.”
(2 Kings 3:26-27)

Desperate people who don’t worship You

end up doing terrible, unthinkable things, Jesus!

May my faith be in You alone

causing me to do only what is good!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites, collect five shekels for each one…Give the money…to Aaron and his sons.”
(Numbers 3:46-48)

So, Jesus –

each family had to buy back from You every firstborn
or that child would enter Your full-time service –

a practice that helped fund the priesthood.

Regardless of what I do for a living today or in the future

I don’t want to be bought back.
I want to belong full-time to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with unswerving holy intent:

“Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

You gave the entire promised land to the descendants of Jacob, Jesus

even though Esau was the firstborn
the one traditionally in line to receive the inheritance.

But Esau had no heart for You

didn’t value what You value.

So he lost his chance

leaving the descendants of his younger brother
to rule over the whole land.

O God!

May what I value
perfectly align with You.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“So Moses counted all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the Lord commanded him.”
(Numbers 3:42)

Is that what You liked most about Moses, Jesus?

He did what You commanded him.

Is that true of me?

Do I do what You command me?

Yes.
Most of the time.

But that’s not good enough, is it?

It wasn’t for Moses.

The one time he didn’t do what You told him
it cost him the Promised Land.

From now on, LORD:

I’m shooting for 100%.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Take the Levites for me in place of all the firstborn of the Israelites, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites. I am the Lord.”
(Numbers 3:41)

Yes, You Are LORD, Jesus!

When You struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, you set apart for Yourself every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal, declaring them to be Yours –

just as You are the firstborn of all creation.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Count all the firstborn Israelite males who are a month old or more…”
(Numbers 3:40)

Why did You tell Moses to do that, Jesus?

It didn’t really matter to him, did it?

Oh, he might have been curious

but whether he understood or not
he was going to do it.

That’s a pretty rare commodity

but it’s one of the things You loved about him, wasn’t it?

With all my heart

I hope that’s one of the things You love about me.
