Feel God’s pain to the bone, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord said to me, ‘Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there. I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it.”
(Jeremiah 3:6-7)

When we turn to other gods, Jesus –

anything or anyone we value ahead of You –

in Your eyes
it’s adultery

and Your eyes are the only eyes that matter.

Pray this Lazaroo in awe:

“Through him you believe in God…”
(1 Peter 1:21)

Thank You, Jesus!

for enabling me to believe.

There’s a fundamental difference between belief in God

and believing in a god.

For millennia, people have believed in a god – or gods.

How could they not?

Any rational, intelligent, observant person

can ascertain that there is more to existence
than nature or human effort can explain.

But it is You

who point us to Your heavenly Father
the only true God.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“They provoked the LORD to anger because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.”
(Judges 2:12-13)

No wonder You were angry, Father!

These were gods of their own creation
gods You had warned them against

gods who had never done anything for them
because as the product of their imaginations

they couldn’t.

The things I create contain the same danger, LORD.

May I keep You first, always, Jesus!
employing what I create

to serve You.

 Pray this Lazaroo in grateful acknowledgment: 

“…she found herself working in a field belonging to Boaz…”
(Ruth 2:3)

We human beings behave as though these things in our possession belong to us, don’t we, Jesus?

But they don’t.
They’re Yours.

All of it.

You’ve entrusted these fields, houses, cars, electronics, tools, buildings, toys, friends, neighbors, family members into my care.

You’ve made me responsible for them.
You expect me to do something useful with them and for them.

Something that brings glory
to their Owner.
