Be duly warned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value…and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 5:17-18)

This answers one of my questions, Jesus:

Ignorance of Your Law is no excuse.

If I refuse to study Your Word to learn Your commands

I will pay the consequences.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Then [Jesus] told them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’ They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.”
(John 2:8-9)

Any time You issue an order Jesus

I want to hear it
and obey it

because I know I’ll be as blessed by it

as was the master of that banquet!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”
(2 John 1:6)

We’re not to obey everything, are we, Jesus?

Obedience – all by itself – is not the goal.

There are countless people issuing orders in my direction –

presidents, governors, mayors, bosses, doctors, experts, friends, family.

When should I obey them?

When their orders are in harmony with Your commands.

When should I wisely but staunchly disobey them?

When doing so would require me to disobey You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“The total number of Levites counted at the LORD’s command…”
(Numbers 3:39)

It’s a good thing You’re the one who ordered this, Jesus

because the Levites were not to be counted.

That’s a bit confusing.

First You tell them not to do something
then You order them to do it.

What am I to do with such commands?

Obey them each time!

Don’t do it when You say not to.
Do it when You command it.

Pretty simple, really.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

“…had from the beginning.”
(2 John 1:5)

Some of Your commands came later, Jesus

but a handful were inserted deep in our hearts
right from the beginning.

It’s always been right to see what You’ve created

then bow in worship
in stunned awe

and give You thanks.

It’s always been wrong to murder the unborn and aged

no matter what some supreme court declares.

It’s always been right to love others

grateful for the love You continually show us.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate, wholehearted adoration:

“…keep my commands in your heart, for they will…bring you prosperity.”
(Proverbs 3:1-2)

I do want to prosper, Jesus.

But not the way I used to think.

Prosperity – true prosperity – isn’t about money or fame.

As precious as these are
it isn’t even about health, friends, family.

The prosperity for which I long is whatever comes

with being in the absolute center of Your will.

Not one centimeter to the right.
Not one centimeter to the left.

That’s it.

Pray this Lazaroo in loving, eternal gratitude:

“…pay with his life for this…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

That’s what Adonijah had to do, Jesus

and that’s what was required of me.

I’ve sinned against You.

Not once or twice, but repeatedly.

My life!

That’s the pronounced sentence
for willfully defying Your loving commands.

I was imprisoned on death row

until You stepped into my cell
and took my place.

You let them kill You instead of me

so that I
utterly guilty
without excuse

could go free.

 Pray this Lazaroo on this Christmas Day in grateful determination:

“…not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it…”
(James 1:25)

You didn’t forget us, Jesus!

You came to this earth as a baby to save us from our sins.

You did it.

Because You came

now I can do it, too –
whatever You ask.

There will never be room for excuse about how I tried to do it

and just couldn’t

‘cause You’ve never told me to do anything

that You weren’t willing to help me accomplish.
