Pray this Lazaroo with straightened priorities:

“I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?”
(Galatians 3:2)

If there was ever a rhetorical question, Jesus

this is it.

Paul knew the answer!

He devoted his entire life to sharing the good news
that while no one is good enough to earn heaven
You paid our sin debt with Your life on the cross

for all who truly believe.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted commitment:

“…we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, ‘So I declared on oath in my anger, “They shall never enter my rest.”’”
(Hebrews 4:2-3)

Hearing Your Word is no good to me, Jesus

if I don’t believe it.

But I do! Thank God, I do!

Pray this Lazaroo with bated breath:

“…the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord…”
(Habakkuk 2:14)

Oh, what a day that will be, Jesus!

I can’t wait.

Literally, I can’t wait –

meaning, I dare not wait.

You’ve given me the task of sharing Your good news

with everyone around me.

I’m not responsible for what they do with it

but You hold me accountable
to do everything in my power
to make sure they hear about You
in as clear and compelling a way as possible.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“To the woman he said, ‘I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.’”
(Genesis 3:16)

You ensure that every sin has a consequence, Jesus.

The bigger the sin
the bigger the consequence.

The good news?

You reward every good thought, word or deed.

Let’s see…

which would I like to make my goal? 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt gratitude:

“…the Lord of peace himself…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

You Are That, Jesus:

My Peace!

You warned me that in this world I’d have trouble.

But then You comforted me with this promise:

“But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

I need not be surprised when trouble comes.

You warned me it would.

But the good news is:

Trouble doesn’t have the power to rob me of Your peace!

“This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”

Pray this Lazaroo in bated breath anticipation:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

This is a fascinating command, Jesus.

Many of us who have trusted You as our Savior
view our salvation as a single event.

We said, “Yes!” to the good news
that You paid for our sins on the cross
and three days later rose from the dead.

But now – oh the excitement!

…to learn there’s more.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.”
(1 Corinthians 2:14)

That explains some of my conversations with non-Christians, Jesus!

Before they can understand the treasures of Your Word
they first have to accept You, the Living Word!

What those You’re calling to Yourself can understand

is the good news of Your death, burial and resurrection out of love for them.

You’ve also given me a commission, Jesus!

I’m supposed to share Your good news
with those who don’t yet know You.

I like what everybody thinks St. Francis of Assisi had to say about that:

Preach the gospel at all times.
If necessary, use words.

Of course, Francis didn’t say that – but still, it reminds me:

My words have power
only if backed up by my life.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed passion:

“…shaming your own house…”
(Habakkuk 2:10)

It’s not about me alone, is it, Jesus?

It’s about those who live with me
those who grew up with me
those I count as friends
those where I work
those in my city, state, country
those in my church.

When I mess up, I shame them.

But the good news is this:

When I please You, I honor them!

And even when I’ve strayed

by returning to You
I give them hope.
