Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude and love:

“…remember that at that time you were…excluded from citizenship in Israel…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

Because I believe in You, Jesus

I’m a Christian.
My home is in heaven.
I’m part of Your Church.

But may I never forget the miracle You performed when I prayed to receive You as my Savior:

You included me in Israel!

I’m now eligible for every promise You’ve ever made to Your dearly loved people.

I, who was once an outcast

am now a Jew.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“…a foreigner…”
(Ruth 2:10)

Ruth isn’t the only one, Jesus.

I, too, am a foreigner.

This world is not my home!

Just about the time I forget that
behaving as though this world is it

You allow it
to rear its perverse, unfair, twisted head.

In deepest gratitude I lift my eyes back to You

my longing for heaven increased…doubled…tripled.

Only with You will I finally be at home.
Only with You will I know lasting rest, happiness, peace.

Pray this Lazaroo buttressed by faith:

“This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

That’s wild, Jesus.

They were exiles in the very land You had promised them.

Everybody looked at them like outsiders, intruders

not knowing they were looking down on people
to whom they would one day look up

not realizing these trespassers
would one day become the land’s owners.

I can identify.

Today I walk this land as a foreigner

but my Dad owns it all
and I’m Your heir.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey…to search out places for you to camp…”
(Deuteronomy 1:32-33)

To camp, Jesus

not to live.

When You place me somewhere, it’s tempting to think it’s to stay

But that’s not what You have in store for me on this earth, is it?

Everywhere I go is an overnighter

a temp job
a stopover.

I’m a stranger here, in a foreign land.

This world
is not my home.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“Solomon took a census of all the aliens who were in Israel…”
(2 Chronicles 2:17)

I’d have been an alien in that census, Jesus

a foreigner
a stranger
a misfit

I’m not descended from Abraham, Isaac or Jacob.

I’m not even sure who all my ancestors are
except that if I go back far enough…

I’m pretty sure I go back to Adam. 😉

But I’m no longer an alien, am I?

Thanks to the cross
I’m family.
