Pray this Lazaroo, undeterred:

“The king should know that we went to the district of Judah, to the temple of the great God. The people are building it with large stones and placing the timbers in the walls…We questioned the elders and asked them, ‘Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?’”
(Ezra 5:8-9)

Every time I launch something for You, Jesus

Satan will raise up someone to question what I’m doing.

Fine. Let them ask away!

…while I keep right on doing what You’ve called me to do.

Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He rebuilt it, roofing it over…”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Nobody else added a roof to the gate he was repairing, Jesus.

Only Shallun.

From this we can infer that it wasn’t something that had to be done.

Shallun thought it would be a good idea.

So he took the extra time
did the extra work
incurred the extra expense

to make the Fountain Gate unique, beautiful, desirable.

What an inspiration, Father!

May I always and forever do more than expected…for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with focused intent:

“…on behalf of Christ…”
(Philippians 1:29)

That’s how I intend to live my life, Jesus –

on behalf of You.

I want everything I think, say and do

to be for You.

If that truly is my heart, my plan, my goal, my purpose –

how can I go wrong?

There’s no higher reason for living

no greater way to move singlemindedly through each day.

Rise up within me in power, Holy Spirit!

so that my intent

will be fulfilled in action.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…supervising those working on the house of God.”
(Ezra 3:9)

Is there any greater work, Jesus?

No.

Not for the supervisor
not for those working on Your house.

The thing is, every one of Your followers

has that sacred opportunity.

Doesn’t matter how humble, how seemingly insignificant.

If it’s done to serve You
it’s great.

The one who pulls a weed for You is doing a higher work

than the CEO who leads a Fortune 500 company

for herself.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Merarites were appointed to take care of the frames of the tabernacle…its posts…”
(Numbers 3:36)

That’s about as plain, unremarkable and mundane as it gets, Jesus:

a post.

But not just any post!

A post that helps hold up Your tabernacle
which makes it one of the greatest ever.

I’m pretty plain, unremarkable and mundane myself

but if I can be a post

or make one 😉

that upholds the truth of Your Word

my eternal worth is incalculable.
