Sunday, July 19, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land…”
(Hosea 4:1)

You were reminding them of how much You had done for them, Jesus!

They were living in the land You had given them.

Through them, You evicted the previous landowners.

Now, they were committing the same sins
that brought about the eviction of their predecessors.

May I never take for granted what You’ve done for me!

May I walk with You always
in obedient humility.

Pray this Lazaroo in aware humility:

“The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:17)

Why do we get like that, Jesus?

It’s because of the generosity of Your blessings, isn’t it?

You load us up with good things

but instead of being humbly grateful to You
we act like we’ve done it ourselves.

Attractive people act like they self-designed their genes.
Talented people act like they gave themselves their abilities.

No wonder You have to take us down a notch!

Pray this Lazaroo in prioritized humility:

“…I have forgiven…in order that Satan might not outwit us.”
(2 Corinthians 2:10-11)

When the sin against me is small, Jesus

forgiveness isn’t too tough.

I can shrug it off, chalk it up to…

“Nobody’s perfect. Everybody makes mistakes.”

But when someone betrays me, deliberately stabs me in the back

I really struggle to let it go.

Satan knows that. After all, he’s the original backstabber.

I need Your help, Father!

so that Satan doesn’t have the last laugh.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

That’s what kind of person seeks You, isn’t it, Jesus?

The humble.

Proud people don’t look to You for strength, protection, success.

They think they’ve got everything they need
right there in themselves.

One reason they believe that is because of the strength, protection and success they’ve already enjoyed.

They never stop to ask: “Where did all these blessings come from?”

May I never fail to seek You.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.”
(Luke 1:48)

Historians might wonder why Mary was chosen to be Your mother, Jesus

but Mary didn’t.

She immediately knew: It was her humble state.

Did that mean she was poor?
In part, yes.

But it was so much more.

She didn’t dip in and out of humility as she followed You.
That was her state – who she was all the time.

And so it must be mine.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…it has been granted to you…”
(Philippians 1:29)

I like to think of myself as somebody who’s earned it, Jesus

a person who works hard to get what I’ve got.

But that’s such a self-delusion!

Everything I have…am…know…do
has been granted.

My very self, life, parents, circumstances, gifts, experiences, emotions –

all are gifts from Your loving, generous hand.

Rather than bragging in self-congratulation

pounding my chest with off-putting pride

I should be humbled – filled to the brim with gratitude.

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“…the priests in their vestments…”
(Ezra 3:10)

You were specific about these sacred garments, Jesus.

First, they were to bathe.

Aaron was to put on linen undergarments

followed by the sacred woven linen tunic, robe
linen turban and sash, breastpiece and ephod.

He was to be anointed and ordained in them

giving him dignity and honor.

Since all believers are priests, You tell me to clothe myself

with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience

and most of all…with You.

Friday, August 4, 2017

 

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They are…unfit…”
(Titus 1:16)

My first glance at these unfit people

tempts me to look down on them, Jesus.

Until it hits me: “Unfit?”

So am I.

I’m unfit to receive Your salvation

unfit to be given this much
unfit to be so blessed by You
unfit to be the bearer of Your good news.

And yet

all of these – and so much more! –
are mine.

How dare I look down on anybody?

when I’m the one
who’s unfit.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…all Levites – joined together in supervising…”
(Ezra 3:9)

I’m sure some Levites were awesome supervisors, Jesus

some less so
some not so much

and some totally stunk it up.

At least, based on my experience, that’s my guess.

Anytime everybody in one family does the same thing
some are better than others

and there’s always at least one clunker in the bunch.

For all I know

I’m that clunker in my bunch.

If so…
thanks for including me.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The LORD…humbles and he exalts.”
(1 Samuel 2:7)

Some people think you only exalt, Jesus.

The experience of others leads them to believe
all You do is humble

at least when it comes to them.

But there’s a lot more to You than any of us can grasp.

Just when we think we’ve got You figured out
we learn we don’t

sometimes the hard way
sometimes not.

I prefer to be exalted, LORD!

but that usually comes
after I’m humbled.
