Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“We ought therefore…”
(3 John 1:8)

Three powerful words, Jesus!

How many times have You shown me truth
without seeing me act on it?

I hope none.
But I know better.

Sometimes I file it away to act on later
and never get around to doing so.

Not only that.

But that word “we” is meant to turn me into an evangelist.

The truth You so graciously share with me
is meant for everyone to act on, as well.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…their destruction has not been sleeping.”
(2 Peter 2:3)

But it feels like that, doesn’t it, Jesus?

When somebody who doesn’t believe in You does wrong
they look around and think –

“How about that! I got away with it!”

Of course, they didn’t.
If they don’t repent, their punishment is guaranteed to arrive

in Your perfect way and time.

I, on the other hand, know better.

When I sin, I’m filled with remorse.

I’m driven to repent
and make it right.

Pray this Lazaroo with recognition:

“I struck all the work of your hands with…hail…”
(Haggai 2:17)

Discipline like that ought to be obvious, Jesus

unless the person You’re correcting
doesn’t believe in You –

or doesn’t believe You’re willing to use extreme measures
to turn around someone You truly care about.

They might chalk up the hailstorm to “natural causes”

ignoring the fact that every so-called “natural cause” out there
comes from Your hand.

I know better, LORD!

Now I need to act like it.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…he has…sent me against the nations that have plundered you…”
(Zechariah 2:8)

I love knowing this about You, Jesus –

that You send Your mighty angel
against those who have attacked Your people.

As I think back about it, that explains a lot.

Wow.

Some will look at what has happened to them as mere coincidence.

I know better.

You watch. You listen. You know.

When someone comes after us, You don’t just take note.
You do something about it.
