Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“We have heard a message from the Lord: An envoy was sent to the nations to say, ‘Rise, let us go against her for battle…’”
(Obadiah 1:1)

You’re stirring up the nations against us, Jesus?

No. Not us.
Against our pride-filled, sinning brothers.

I’m sorry for them…

but thankful that we’re not the ones under Your wrath.

Except…this is a warning, isn’t it?

If you’re taking our brothers to the woodshed
we’ll be next –

if we follow their example of disobedience.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Why do we profane the covenant of our fathers…?”
(Malachi 2:10)

Good question, Jesus.

If I had Godly parents, grandparents or ancestors –

any at all!

– why wouldn’t I follow their example?

But if – so far as I know –

nobody in my family was righteous

why wouldn’t I profane their evil covenant with Satan
and make a new covenant with You?

A covenant with You is a powerful thing that should never be broken.

A covenant with Satan must be broken.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Shout and be glad…”
(Zechariah 2:10)

It’s pretty hard to offend You, Jesus

when my praise is outrageously exuberant toward You. 😉

I know I’m supposed to behave in polite company

but sometimes I’m too polite, too quiet, too controlled
when it comes to giving You the honor You’re due.

David was over-the-top with his dancing in front of the ark.

So was Phinehas who was zealously obedient with his spear.

I could do worse
than follow their example.
