Pray this Lazaroo in humble acknowledgement:

“‘Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah—a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.’ This is what they will get in return for their pride…”
(Zephaniah 2:9-10)

Solomon said it, Jesus:

“Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Sadly, he experienced it.

So will I, unless I remember:
You are the Giver of my gifts.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“‘Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,’ declares the Lord.”
(Obadiah 1:4)

You said it, Jesus:

“Pride goes before destruction
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

I can testify!

You’ve had to drop me to my knees.
More than once.

But praise Your Holy Name!

Again and again and again
You’ve lifted me back up!

May I never forget:

The way to stay up
is to stay down.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you…”
(Obadiah 1:3)

Pride will do that, Jesus.

The moment I get to thinking it’s all me

and forget that everything I have is from You

I’ve committed the same fatal mistake as Your angel Lucifer

who lost his place in heaven.

“Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

May I never forget:

You’re the Giver of every good and perfect gift!

I’m the totally, wholly, utterly

unworthy recipient.

Go to school, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The Lord says, ‘The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, strutting along with swaying hips, with ornaments jingling on their ankles. Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the Lord will make their scalps bald.”
(Isaiah 3:16-17)

You hate haughtiness, Jesus.

Absolutely hate it.

As a result, You punish it.

Every time.

May I never allow a hint of haughtiness to enter my thoughts, words, actions…

or the way I walk. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They will occupy the fields of…Samaria…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

For years Your people refused to enter Samaria, Jesus –

home of those who intermarried with non-Jews
who mixed worship of You with worship of false gods.

But You loved them, ministered to them, won them to Yourself!

How often You draw closer to the outcast
than to the proud and haughty!

Remind me not to seek acceptance by the in-crowd, Holy Spirit

but to search for those

who are searching for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep respect:

“The LORD…lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes…”
(1 Samuel 2:7-8)

Only You could pull that off, Jesus!

Princes go to great pains to demonstrate:

“We’re not like everybody else!”

They want us to believe they’re better
above the common riffraff.

You, of course, know better.

So to make Your point
You reach down to the lowest of the low

and make it clear to all

that every person You create
has inestimable value.

Pray this Lazaroo in eager expectation:

“The LORD…raises the poor from the dust…”
(1 Samuel 2:7-8)

That’s one of the things about You I like best, Jesus –

You don’t leave any of us where we are.

Those who are humbled You lift.
Those who are haughty You humble.

Of this I can be sure:

Whatever I do now
Whoever I am now

is going to change.

The more fully I surrender to You

the more stunning the end result.

One touch from You

is transformative.
