Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“‘Take these articles and go and deposit them in the temple in Jerusalem. And rebuild the house of God on its site.’ So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem. From that day to the present it has been under construction but is not yet finished.”
(Ezra 5:15-16)

How many of the assignments You’ve given me

remain unfinished, Jesus?

That’s unacceptable.

In Your strength, favor and blessing –

before You call me Home –

it is my desire to complete every one!

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.”
(Proverbs 3:19-20)

You didn’t just fling a few planets, stars and galaxies out there, Jesus.

You didn’t give the earth a careless glance
leaving it to become whatever.

With great wisdom, knowledge and understanding

You created an incomparably vast, ever-expanding ecosystem
that drops our jaws in worshipful admiration.

Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-given awareness:

“…they saw the foundation of this temple being laid…”
(Ezra 3:12)

How many times have I tried to start something, build something, do something, Jesus…

without properly considering the absolute importance
of laying a deep, strong, solid foundation?

Buildings without good foundations can’t withstand powerful storms.

Neither can projects, missions, businesses, families

lives.

While I’m in such a hurry to get started, I’m tempted to ignore the storms that will come.

But that’s a lethal mistake.
Because they will.

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.

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.
