Pray this Lazaroo with mounting excitement:

“He will…exalt the horn of his anointed.”
(1 Samuel 2:10)

Through my faith in You

You’ve anointed me, too, Jesus!

Thank You!

But what’s up with this, “exalt the horn” business?

I don’t have a horn growing out of my head. 😉

Although…animals do –

rams…deer…antelope…buffalo…rhinos.

Their horns give them a majestic bearing…

honor among all the other animals…

a weapon of power against their enemies.

Wow. Yes, LORD!

By all means: Exalt the horn of Your anointed!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Did not one God create us?”
(Malachi 2:10)

Yes, Jesus, You did.

You’re my Creator, my Father, my Indweller
my Savior, Best Friend, Guide and Protector
my LORD and my God!

You have all rights to me.

Do with me as You will.
I’m Yours! Use me!

I long to bring You praise, honor and glory.

I’m determined to tell as many people as possible about You
so they can experience you as I do:

deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1.

Pray this Lazaroo in lavish worship:

“He adorned the temple with precious stones.”
(2 Chronicles 3:6)

As he oversaw the building of the temple

Solomon did his best to honor, worship and exalt you, Jesus.

That’s the desire of my heart!

I’m sure You enjoyed those precious stones, Father

but I have none to give.

What I’m offering You is the best of who I am and what You’ve given me.

Everything that is mine came from Your hand.

Back into Your hands they go.

Pray this Lazaroo with Biblical insight:

“I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
(1 Kings 3:7)

That’s quite a declaration by the king of Judah, Jesus –

since Israel’s king was evil.

Both were descendants of Abraham

but only one was honoring his ancestor’s God.

I need to be cautious with my pledges of support, don’t I, LORD?

Before I sign on to somebody’s project or campaign
I’d be wise to make certain they’re signed on to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting excitement:

“He…distributed gifts with royal liberality.”
(Esther 2:18)

I’d like to be the kind of person who does that, Jesus!

My faith in You means I’m Your child
which makes me royalty.

And no, I don’t have in my bank account the resources of this king

but of a King far greater, richer, more ancient:

You.

Your gifts are perfect, life-changing, priceless.

Oh, how I long for the privilege to distribute them
in the Name that is above every name!

Stay focused as you pray this Lazaroo:

 “But you have turned from the way…”
(Malachi 2:8)

Your way is the only road worth traveling, Jesus –

where joy arises
where growth occurs
where good takes place
where people are healed
where hope springs eternal
where amazing things happen
where bad people become good
where good people become great
where nobodies become somebody
where broken relationships are restored

Why would I ever turn from Your way?

            There is not one good reason
            In all this sick old world.

Seek true perspective, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“After he has honored me…”
(Zechariah 2:8)

That’s what comes first, isn’t it, Jesus?

Or at least it should.

First I honor You

then You honor me.

You’re first.

I’m last.

You’re the head.

I’m the tail.

You’re the top.

I’m the bottom.

But all too often I get it backwards.

I wait to thank and praise You
until I notice You’ve done something I like

shamefully overlooking the countless blessings with which You shower me

every single day.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“After he has honored me…”
(Zechariah 2:8)

What then, Jesus?

What will You do?

When I honor You by what I think, say and do

how will You respond?

Will You

bless those I love?
answer my prayers?
equip me for greater service?
fulfill my highest dreams?
help me lead others to You?

You can do all those things.

But even if I see none of it on this earth

You absolutely deserve

the honor I give You.
