Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“Give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid.”
(Haggai 2:18)

What a day that was, Jesus!

So much happiness, so much hope, so much rejoicing.

Times of beginning are glorious.

After all, most people never start!

Sadly, however, the rest of the story is this:

Far more people begin than finish.

I long to do both, Father!

A great start…all the way straight through to a great finish.

I’m in Your hands.

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute confidence:

“…the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.”
(Ezra 3:11)

The foundation is all important, isn’t it, Jesus?

It doesn’t matter how well the rest of the house is built.
If the foundation is bad, the house will crack, sag

eventually fall.

There’s only one Foundation worth building my life on:

You!

Back in the 1800s, Edward Mote nailed it:

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide…”
(2 Chronicles 3:3)

There’s never been another temple like it, Jesus –

but that makes me think:

What kind of foundation am I building?

Solomon did a great job laying the foundation for Your physical temple

but his spiritual foundation didn’t hold.

It all started when he disobeyed you in seemingly small ways

first this…then that.

But there’s nothing small about disobedience.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD…”
(Ezra 3:10)

Well…they did and they didn’t, Jesus.

Of course Your Word is accurate.
The builders did lay a physical foundation.

But there’s another sense in which no human builder could ever lay the foundation for Your temple

because no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid:

You.

Every other foundation anyone lays

is laid on my Creator and Savior
the only sure Foundation.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…before one stone was laid on another…”
(Haggai 2:15)

It’s hard to go back that far, Jesus.

Not for You!
For me.

So much was already here when I came along.

A lot of stones were already stacked.

It’s a good, humbling reminder that I’m building on the work of others’

and will be followed by those who build on mine

if what I’m building is worth adding to it

because I’m building on You
the Solid Rock.

 Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being: 

“…the foundation of the LORD’S temple had not yet been laid.”
(Ezra 3:6)

Until the foundation is laid, Jesus…

…not much can happen.

With no foundation, the building will fall.
With a wrong foundation, the building will fall.

With the right foundation

the building will stand forever.

You are my Foundation, Jesus!

Let the floods come.
Let the winds blow.
Let the earth quake.
Let the bombs blast.

On You, my Solid Rock I stand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
