Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Hear this, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right; who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness.”
(Micah 3:9-10)

It’s the leaders You hold most accountable, isn’t it, Jesus?

You expect them to set the standard for their followers

to love justice and do what’s right
But with honesty, integrity and hard work –

not by crushing the innocent.

Pray this Lazaroo with admiration:

“The Fountain Gate was repaired by Shallun…ruler of the district of Mispah.”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Shallun was a ruler, Jesus – obviously an important man in his day.

But the only time he’s mentioned in the entire Bible

is when he set aside his administrative garments
and put on work clothes.

Help me remember that, LORD!

Sometimes You want me to get my hands dirty.

Oh, not with the deeds of sin
but with the good, honest dirt

of hard work.

Ask God to help you follow their example as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…you will do even more…”
(Philemon 1:21)

Some people are just like that, Jesus.

They’re doers, workers, achievers –

but not merely for a season.

They keep going and going and going

doing even more.

While I focus on what they’ve accomplished

they’ve moved on to the next thing

and the next and the next.

They know their work is never done until You say so.

But they don’t resent it!

Because they know they’re laying up

untold heavenly treasure.

Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They are…arrogant…”
(Romans 1:29-30)

Arrogance is pretty hard to stomach, Jesus.

When I see it, I cringe.

Sadly, it almost always shows up in those You’ve blessed!

Instead of realizing their gifts, skills and triumphs are from You
they believe it’s all because of them.

They think it’s due to their hard work, their brilliance
their superiority over others

which sets them up for Your inevitable punishment

and their disgrace.

May I never, ever – ever!

follow in their footsteps.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep gratitude:

“Next to them, repairs were made by men from Gibeon and Mizpah…”
(Nehemiah 3:7)

It feels good, Jesus…

to look over and see someone working as hard as I am
doing their share.

It’s encouraging even when I could have eventually finished it all myself

but it’s the difference between success and failure
when the task is bigger than either of us alone.

Thank You Father!

for every person You’ve sent – and will send –
to joyfully serve You together.
