Pray this Lazaroo with renewed resolve:

“As you have heard…”
(2 John 1:6)

Why do I cringe when I hear those words, Jesus?

Probably because I realize
I’m about to be reminded.

Usually, the reason I’m being reminded

is I didn’t pay attention the first time.

Of course, I may have paid attention the first time

and didn’t want to do it

or had something else going on
I wanted to finish first.

Or maybe I just procrastinated.

Wow.

All that sounds pretty lame.

Pray this Lazaroo in corrected awareness:

“…breaking faith with one another…”
(Malachi 2:10)

This is a big deal to You, isn’t it, Jesus?

To break faith with one another
is to break faith with You.

At first, it doesn’t look that way.

I’m tempted to think the way I treat others
is solely between them and me.

But then it I realize it isn’t:

Those “others” I’m breaking faith with
are Your kids.

Last time I checked

no dad likes it
when somebody mistreats His kid.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They will come trembling to the LORD…”
(Hosea 3:5)

That’s not a bad way to come to You, Jesus.

It sure beats coming to You full of pride.
It’s better than coming to You burning with anger.
It’s preferable to coming to You eaten up with doubt.

When I come to You with trembling

it’s because I realize how small I am
and how awesome You Are

how flawed and sinful I am
and how perfect, righteous and holy You Are.

Step up to the plate as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…on behalf of the Israelites.”
(Numbers 3:38)

Anything I do “on behalf” of someone else can be nerve-racking, Jesus!

It’s not just about me.
It’s about them.

To think that what I do on their behalf affects them – negatively or positively –

creates a lot of pressure.

I’m tempted to avoid the stress and reject such duties

until I realize that’s impossible.
Everything I do affects somebody else.

As Your follower, I’m always setting an example

for good
or harm.
