Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“They were responsible for the care of the sanctuary…”
(Numbers 3:38)

What a high and holy responsibility, Jesus!

Surely they recognized the honor You had bestowed on them.
Surely they never resented this work, no matter how hard.

During this age, Your sanctuary in that form no longer exists.

But that doesn’t mean we’re left with no sanctuary.

That one was but a copy of Your true sanctuary in heaven.

What an honor one day to serve You there –

forever!

Pray this Lazaroo – overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…all the ungodly acts they have done…”
(Jude 1:15)

They say the Internet never forgets, Jesus –

that once I post something
it’s out there, somewhere in the ether, forever.

That used to be the case with my ungodly acts, didn’t it?

But no more.

In sorrow and repentance I’ve confessed my sins to You.

You’ve forgiven me.
Forever.

You’ve permanently, irrevocably blotted them out of Your mind

completely removing them –
as far as the east is from the west.

Take a deep breath, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…all will be condemned who have not believed the truth…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:12)

Pretty plain, Jesus.

Thanks for laying it out there

Those who refuse to believe the truth are not merely disciplined, punished.

You don’t simply give them a stern talking-to
put them in time out.

They’re condemned.

Last time I checked
that means hell.

Not just for a visit.
Forever.

Makes me develop a whole new appreciation

for the truth…the whole truth…
and nothing but the truth.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“The LORD has spoken.”
(Obadiah 1:18)

That’s what’s said when You’ve handed down Your verdict, Jesus.

There’s a finality to it

as though The Judge’s gavel has fallen

reverberating throughout eternity.

When it’s worded like that

it’s usually bad news.

But You also speak amazing promises, LORD!

These, too, are good for all time.

Your promises to Your loving, obedient people

can never, ever be broken.

May every happy, faithful promise in Your book

be forever  mine.

Pray this Lazaroo in confident belief:

“Arise…”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

That’s what You did for the world and for me, Jesus:

You arose.

Because You did

I will.

That takes the stinger out of the wasp of death!

To know that death is not the end
but the beginning

is the greatest gift of my life:

Life.

Eternal life!

My body may be buried here

but my spirit will soar forever with You in heaven
to be joined one day by my transformed body.

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…in the coming ages…”
(Ephesians 2:7)

Most people settle for their three score and ten in this age, Jesus.

Not me.

Because I’ve put my hope in You alone

You’ve promised me the rest of this age
and all the ages to come.

And the best part?

I’ll only be shackled inside the limitations of this body
for the tiniest portion of it.

The rest of the time I’ll enjoy the limitless capability of my new body

like Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The LORD…makes alive…”
(1 Samuel 2:6)

You don’t merely allow life to happen, Jesus
Nor do You simply watch it happen.

You make it happen.

In fact, if You don’t create it

it doesn’t happen.

I’m alive because You caused me to be here

…as is true for every person on earth.

And now, through my trust in You –

Your death on the cross in my behalf

Your burial
Your resurrection

You’ve wrought something totally new:

I’m alive forevermore.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“O LORD my God.”
(Jonah 2:6)

Four words packed with power, Jesus.

You’re my LORD

my Boss
my All in All
my Sovereign
my King
my Ruler

You’re my God

Creator of all
the One I worship
the One who chose me
the All-Powerful
the One who brought me into this world
the One who will take me out

You’re my LORD and God

Mine!

Not only do I belong to You…

You belong to me.

Forever and ever.
