Take heed! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You take away my blessing…”
(Micah 2:9)

You want to bless us, Jesus.

You love to bless us.
You long to bless us!

But if we persist in our sins

we prevent You from blessing us as you so deeply desire.

Oh, in Your loving mercy You continue to bless us in countless ways –

in ways we so often ignore –

but not nearly as much as You would have blessed us

if only we had stayed true to You.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there?”
(Amos 3:5)

No, Jesus.

Birds aren’t that stupid.

But we Your people sometimes are.

Even though You’ve warned us repeatedly of the dangers of sin
we keep swooping down into Satan’s traps.

Your Word is full of advice, cautions, horrific accounts

but it’s as though we ignore all the signs:

STOP!
DANGER!
BRIDGE OUT!

because we think we know better than do You.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes that see:

“…my beautiful one…”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

I’ve been told, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” Jesus

but ultimately there’s only One who beholds:

You.

The rest of us don’t really see – not the way You do.

We focus on the wrong things
ignore, overlook, misunderstand the right things.

There’s so much more to each person You’ve created

than we can see.

O God!

Open the eyes of my heart.

Enable me to see
what You see.

Pray this Lazaroo in dawning awareness:

“…the house of Esau will be stubble…”
(Obadiah 1:18)

Hard words, Jesus

though no less true.

I prefer soft words, myself

saying them and hearing them.

Sadly, soft words are often ignored.

I use them with others
others use them with me

to which we nod, smile, wave an acknowledgment…

and keep right on doing what we’re doing.

Hard words pack a punch because they carry a threat.

Y’know…I think I’d rather learn how to respond
to soft words.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…you will be like God…”
(Genesis 3:5)

Satan uses that lie to get me to sin, Jesus

because that’s the lie he told himself
when he rebelled against You

and it blew up in his face.

The more I sin

the less I look like You
the more I look like Satan.

If I want to be like You

I’ve got to reject Satan’s lies
ignore his false promises

and follow closely after You
every step of the way.
