Pray this Lazaroo in self-assessment:

“…to see if you would stand the test…”
(2 Corinthians 2:9)

Obviously, Jesus…

You knew if they would stand the test
You know everything before it happens.

But that may explain why I’m going through some things.

Maybe this is a test.

If so…how am I doing?

Well, I know the partial answer:

In some areas
I wasn’t exactly on my “A” game..

But overall, what’s my grade?

My salvation is secure
but my heavenly treasure is what’s at stake.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.”
(Acts 2:20)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

You’re coming.

I know it will happen.

I just don’t know when.

I know it will happen because You declared in advance You would come the first time.

And on this Christmas Eve I’m reminded:
You kept Your Word!
You came!

But this next coming of Yours?

Wow. What a day that will be!

When You rescue Your people
from the coming wrath.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…we are…created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
(Ephesians 2:10)

When I really begin to get hold of this truth, Jesus

it’s an amazing feeling.

You could have set me on planet earth 5,000 years ago.
You could have waited to bring me here 1,000 years from now.

But You didn’t

because You’ve got a whole list of things to accomplish through me

and my time to do them is now.

Pray this Lazaroo in unshakable faith:

“…my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…”
(Luke 1:47)

So does mine, Jesus!

2,000 years ago Your followers thought all was lost
because they saw You crucified, dead, buried.

This in spite of the fact that You told them in advance this would happen
and that on the third day You would be raised from the dead.

Then they saw You, ate with You, touched You

and believed!

I’ve done none of those things…yet.

But by faith

I will.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot purpose:

“Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men…”
(Jude 1:14)

That’s nothing short of amazing, Jesus.

I take that back.

For Enoch to precisely foretell what a group of people were going to be, say and do 3,000 years before they walked this earth

is an absolute miracle.

Of course, that should be no surprise.

Enoch was the one you took to heaven
without requiring him to die first.

Teach me to walk with You

as he did.
