Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“He assigned 70,000 of them to be carriers…”
(2 Chronicles 2:18)

These were the aliens living among the Jews, Jesus.

Solomon gave them the dirt jobs
the tasks no one else wanted.

If a Jew needed something heavy carried from here to there

all he had to do was call a carrier.

I’m no alien in Your Church, Father.

But if You want me to carry something heavy for You

short distance or long

I’d be honored to do so.

Pray this Lazaroo in respectful humility:

“For you know…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:11)

I always get a little nervous when I hear someone say that, Jesus.

They may be assuming I know more than I do.

There was a time when I thought I knew more than I did

only to discover the hard way how woefully ignorant I was.

Time has passed. Much has happened. I must be wiser now than I was then…

…if only to realize and admit how much I don’t know.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’”
(Hosea 2:23)

I know how it feels to be judged, Jesus.

I don’t like it –
and not just when they judge me harshly

Sometimes people think more highly of me than they ought to.

Makes me feel uncomfortable.
When I try to correct them, they think I’m being modest

which makes them think even more highly of me.

Sigh.

Some days I just can’t win! 😉

Pray this Lazaroo…in the fear of God:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever…he sets up kings and deposes them.”
(Daniel 2:20-21)

Thanks for that reminder, Jesus.

No matter how You’ve honored and blessed me
no matter how many gifts You’ve given me
no matter how many people respect me
no matter how You’ve lifted me up

You can take me out.

The amazing favor You’ve shown me is no reason to get cocky.

It’s motivation to get humble
and stay that way.

Walk softly, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:7)

This is one of those passages, Jesus…

on which students of Your Word disagree.

You could have spelled it out so there’d be no guessing, no controversy

but You chose not to.

Since You’ve remained purposely mysterious about it

perhaps we should hold our opinions
with humility.

 Pray this Lazaroo in humbled perspective: 

“What more can the king’s successor do than what has already been done?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:12)

What a preposterous question, Jesus!

Yet Solomon meant it to the bone.

So far as he was concerned, he had done everything worth doing.

He couldn’t imagine that those who followed him could top it.
There was nothing left.

Am I that blind, Father?

I pray not!

Help me make it my goal to empower those after me

to surpass everything I’ve ever done.
