Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.”
(Acts 3:1-2)

Peter and John thought they were there to pray, Jesus.

The lame man thought he was there to beg.

All three were about to discover:

You had a little something else in mind!

Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He rebuilt it, roofing it over…”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Nobody else added a roof to the gate he was repairing, Jesus.

Only Shallun.

From this we can infer that it wasn’t something that had to be done.

Shallun thought it would be a good idea.

So he took the extra time
did the extra work
incurred the extra expense

to make the Fountain Gate unique, beautiful, desirable.

What an inspiration, Father!

May I always and forever do more than expected…for You.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble willingness:

“They also repaired…as far as the Dung Gate.”
(Nehemiah 3:13)

But that’s where they stopped, Jesus.

Can’t blame them a bit.

The gate through which the excrement of humans and animals was disposed of

was not an attractive place –
especially when the wind was blowing the wrong direction!

But oh, what an important service that gate performed –

along with those who transported
their odoriferous cargo through it!

Make me willing to do the necessary tasks

no one wants to do.
