Saturday, July 8, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with single-minded determination:

“This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
(1 Corinthians 4:1-2)

What have You entrusted to me, Jesus?

Whom have You entrusted to me?

Don’t allow me to overlook even one of Your assignments!

I long to have You look on me one day and say:

“You have proven faithful.”

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart:

“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful.”
(Joel 2:23)

Yes, You Are, Jesus!

You always keep Your promises.
You gave Your life for me on the cross

I, on the other hand, haven’t always been faithful to You.

It hurts me to admit that.
I know it hurts You even more.

Well, that’s got to change.

Not sometime in the future.

Starting now.

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of love:

“Be merciful…”
(Jude 1:22)

I’ve got a question, Jesus:

Why is it so hard for me to be merciful to others

while being the grateful recipient
of all this mercy I’m receiving from You?

I know what I deserve –

and it ain’t peaches and cream.

I deserve dismemberment, humiliation and hell.
Instead, You’ve given me life, golden opportunities and heaven.

Surely, I can muster up a little of Your mercy toward others!

You’ve made it pretty clear:

If I don’t

my own mercy could come to a halt.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…a temple had not yet been built for the Name of the Lord. Solomon showed his love for the Lord by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.”
(1 Kings 3:2-3)

Solomon had an excuse for doing wrong, Jesus.

There was no temple.

But he didn’t have to go to one of those high places You so detested!

Satan will always provide me with an excuse to do wrong.

But to do wrong
there is no acceptable excuse.

Pray this Lazaroo – overwhelmed with gratitude:

“Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand. The Lord said to Moses, ‘When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do.’”
(Exodus 4:20-21)

You not only sent Moses on a mission, Jesus

but You equipped him with everything he needed to succeed –

just as You’ve done for me.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“See, I will make you small among the nations…”
(Obadiah 1:2)

That’s no threat to a small nation, Jesus.

It’s not much of a threat to one medium sized.

But if they thought it was the truth

if they knew Who was speaking –
the One Who can make good on His every Word –

that would scare the fire out of a big nation

like mine.

And given the increasing godlessness I see all around me

so it should.

Friday, January 27, 2023

 

Determine to take action, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.”
(3 John 1:10)

What kind of person behaves in this way, Jesus?

Certainly not someone led by Your Holy Spirit.

I suspect they’re being led by none other than Satan himself.

But why would they allow that?

Maybe they’re a Christian in name only
planted by Satan to disrupt the love in Your Church.

Thankfully, You’ve given us the proper way

to deal with such people.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
(Colossians 2:2-3)

When I have You, Jesus

I’ve got it all.

Everything God has, You have –

because You’re God
and God has everything.

Speaking of which:

You have me!

I’ve given myself to You, body and soul
past, present and future
nothing held back!

Which means I will always have everything I need
because I will always, always, always have You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle. This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you.”
(Deuteronomy 2:24-25)

Nothing happens, Jesus

unless You make it happen
or let it happen

which means my total focus
needs to be on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:8)

And what a grace-filed gift it is, Jesus –

to tell others about You.

Not just to those who’ve already heard

but to those who’ve never heard Your Name one time!

Most of us can’t go to those faraway places

but we can give sacrificially to You
and help those who can!
