Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Return to the LORD your God…”
(Joel 2:13)

Why would any of us ever leave You, Jesus?

You’re loving, kind, merciful, forgiving, all-wise, all-powerful –

the Only God!

How could any of us who has touched Your greatness

stray from Your loving arms?

But we do.

There’s no excuse. None.

My only hope when I commit the unthinkable
and cave in to Satan’s temptation

is to repent with every fiber of my being
and return to You with all my heart!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

This is a wonderful prophecy, Jesus!

But please help me remember this about Your Greatness:

You do more than one thing at once!

Yes, this prophecy foretells what will happen in Israel.

But it also teaches an exciting principle:

Those whose focus is helping and rescuing others

are the kind of people best suited
to lead, to rule, to govern.

Self-centered leaders are dangerous.

Deliver us from non-deliverers!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…the two officials were hanged on a gallows.”
(Esther 2:23)

When it was discovered that these men were plotting to assassinate the king, Jesus

it cost them their lives.

But this was no isolated, meaningless incident.

You used it as one of an amazing series of events
to save the lives of Your people in Persia and Media.

O God! Your greatness continually astounds me.

You are working in literally everything that happens
large or small.

Including this.
Right now.

Cling to God’s promises, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Before them…the sky trembles.”
(Joel 2:10)

Those are some fearsome creatures You created, Jesus!

Punishment You inflicted on Your own people –
a terrifying swarm of supernatural locusts.

No wonder the very sky trembled!

But if I tremble before You –

terrified to sin against Your greatness, majesty, love and wisdom –

I’ll never have to tremble because of Your punishment.

Sadly, I’ve failed at that in the past

and experienced Your loving discipline…

which steered me all the way back

to You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings…”
(Hosea 3:5)

What a fascinating juxtaposition, Jesus:

“trembling”…and “blessing.”

So as I look at this, here’s what I’m wondering:

Do You bless those who approach You with trembling?

Well, I know You bless everyone in ways beyond counting.

But do You reserve a special blessing for those
who tremble because they recognize more than most

Your greatness, majesty, wisdom, love and power?

Awesome God!
I come trembling!
