Pray this Lazaroo in costly faith:

“…for the sake of his body…”
(Colossians 1:24)

Coming only days after Good Friday, Jesus…

it would be easy to think Paul is referring to your physical body,
beaten and crucified to pay for my sins.

But no.

Paul is talking about Your body of believers
and what he willingly suffers in their behalf.

Do I have that kind of love and compassion for Your Church?

Do I consider the sacrifices I make for them

a hardship…or a privilege?

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“She was taken to King Xerxes in the royal residence in the tenth month…”
(Esther 2:16)

How demeaning, Jesus –

to be plucked from her home
deprived of her rights

trained for months in the King’s harem
delivered to the king for acceptance or rejection.

And You were working through all of it!

positioning her to become queen to save the lives of Your people

just as You are working through my hardships and humiliations

to accomplish Your eternal good.
