Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…disgrace will not overtake us.”
(Micah 2:6)

Those sound a lot like famous last words, Jesus.

None of us knows what the future holds.

In this case, they couldn’t have been more wrong.

Your prophets had warned them of the disaster that was coming
if they refused to change their ways and follow You.

But they were unwilling to listen.

No, I don’t know what my future holds.

But of this much I’m certain:

I know Who holds my future.

Pray this Lazaroo by faith, with anticipation:

“… the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his nobles and officials.”
(Esther 2:18)

Many of us have had birthday, graduation or retirement parties, Jesus.

But not many of us have had a king name a banquet after us.

What did Esther do to deserve such an honor?

Nothing.

Because of Your hand on her life, it wasn’t what she did.

It was what she was going to do.

What’s in my future for Your glory, LORD?

Do it!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…they will set it on fire and consume it.”
(Obadiah 1:18)

To have who I am and everything I stand for set on fire would be bad enough, Jesus

but to be consumed?

to have it all destroyed, leaving no trace?

Heartbreak.
Irredeemable tragedy.

That is the unavoidable, inescapable, certain future

for everyone who rejects You.

Not me, LORD!

I accept, trust, believe in, embrace and adore You!

which means my future is as bright

as Your amazing promises.

Pray this Lazaroo and be flooded with hope:

“They are…twice dead.”
(Jude 1:3)

Can’t get much worse than that, Jesus.

Not only were they dead to You now…

You knew their future:

They would remain dead to You eternally.

All of that while they were still moving, acting, breathing!

Dead people walking.

How many of those around me are twice dead, Father?

It’s not always apparent, is it?

Some of those who look most alive are corpses.

And some who look impossibly hopeless
You will utterly transform.

Pray this Lazaroo with unfathomable joy:

“…God raised us up with Christ…”
(Ephesians 2:6)

That past tense language gets my attention, Jesus.

I know that because I’ve put my faith in You alone
one day I’ll be raised up to heaven.

But that’s future.

At least…
I’ve thought it is.

But You’re talking about it like it’s already done.

Of course, since You know the future
to You it’s a done deal.

But it’s more than that, isn’t it?

Even now
I’m alive in You.
