Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted dedication:

“So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah. She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had left over after she had eaten enough.”
(Ruth 2:17-18)

Such a work ethic, Jesus!

Such a heart to serve, to share, to honor her mother-in-law!

No wonder You chose her as your ancestral grandmother

many generations before Your virgin birth!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.”
(Romans 2:9-11)

Not much of a debate about which way I should turn, Jesus!

Straight to You.

You don’t play favorites.

But if I obey You
I’ll be one of Your favorites.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.”
(Romans 2:7-8)

Persistence is the key, isn’t it, Jesus?

An occasional good or bad deed doesn’t tell the whole story.

What I do or don’t do doesn’t save me.

But my behavior over time reveals

whether or not I’m saved.

(3 John 1:9)

I’m so glad John did, Jesus!

When he passed along Your words in writing

he couldn’t have imagined
how many billions of people would read them

unless You told him! 😉

It isn’t likely that billions of people will read what I write, Jesus

after all, I’m not anything close to Your beloved John.

But please:

make everything I say or write
result in praise, glory, gratitude and honor to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.”
(Proverbs 3:13-16)

To find wisdom and understanding, Jesus…

I’d better be searching for it!

Always putting You and Your ways first

promises that every good thing will follow.

Pray this Lazaroo with holy boldness:

“Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, ‘Why do you disobey the king’s command?’”
(Esther 3:3)

The answer was simple, Jesus:

Haman was a wicked man who did not deserve to be honored.

But that wasn’t even the biggest reason.

Mordecai wasn’t about to bow down to anyone but You.
The fact that it was the king who ordered it was irrelevant

even though it might cost Mordecai his life.

May that kind of holy courage be mine!

Pray this Lazaroo with respect and honor:

“…you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before.”
(Ruth 2:11)

That’s the kind of thing people do in honor of You, Jesus!

Ruth did all of that to stay with her mother-in-law Naomi

out of respect for the woman she loved
and in honor of the God Naomi worshiped:

You.

You’re worth every big time price I pay

every courageous action I take in obedience to You.

“He has…lifted up the humble.”
(Luke 1:52)

You humble those who toot their own horns, Jesus

and honor those who don’t have a horn to toot.

You also honor the owners of many horns
who toot them not for themselves, but for You.

You own all the horns. You created all the people.

So long as I acknowledge those facts and live accordingly
I have every reason to trust that in Your good way and time

You’ll lift me up.

Pray this Lazaroo in surrendered gratitude:

“…the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.”
(Hebrews 3:3)

You’re my Builder, Jesus…

I’m one of the countless “houses” You’re building.

Without question, You deserve not just greater honor, but all the honor!

I wasn’t doing so well before I asked You to take over the job.

I mean, for a while I thought I could handle it
but it didn’t take me long to face the fact
that I was badly, badly mistaken.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“He summons his picked troops, yet they stumble on their way.”
(Nahum 2:5)

What an honor to be chosen by You, Jesus –

to be given a holy task, a meaningful goal
a vital assignment!

But just because You’ve sent me

doesn’t mean I’ll complete my mission.

I have to stay deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 with You

or I’ll stumble along the way.

Sadly, that’s already happened – many times.

But hallelujah!

You keep picking me up
and sending me again.
