Pray this Lazaroo with single minded dedication:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself.”
(3 John 1:12)

There aren’t many people that no one dislikes, Jesus

but some of them lead a secret life that would horrify their admirers.

It’s exceedingly rare to find someone who in Your eyes deserves the accolades of everyone.

I’m no Demetrius.
Not by a long shot!

Nor is it my goal to be liked by everyone.

But it is my goal for You –

Who looks deep into my heart –

to be pleased with me in every way.

Feel God’s pain to the bone, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord said to me, ‘Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there. I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it.”
(Jeremiah 3:6-7)

When we turn to other gods, Jesus –

anything or anyone we value ahead of You –

in Your eyes
it’s adultery

and Your eyes are the only eyes that matter.

Pray this Lazaroo with lights out determination!

“…if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah…”
(2 Peter 2:5)

Now, why would You do that, Jesus?

Well, let’s see:

Noah was a righteous man.
He was blameless among the people of his time.
He walked with You.

Wow. No wonder he found favor in Your eyes!

I can either shake my head, admitting I’m no Noah…

or I can ask You to rise up within me in total transformation.

Pray this Lazaroo with passionate desire:

“…the LORD has a charge to bring against you…: ‘There is no faithfulness…’”
(Hosea 4:1)

That was the awful situation in Israel, Jesus!

Are we any better today?
I fervently hope so.

But what we call faithfulness

may not be faithful at all in Your eyes –
because You see into our hearts.

How many of the righteous acts I perform are for You

and how many are to make me look good?

O God!

The answer must be:

Zero.

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“This is good, and pleases God our Savior…”
(1 Timothy 2:3)

That’s what I long to know, Jesus!

that what I’m saying and doing
are good and pleasing to You.

You see it all –

which means You see much that breaks Your heart.

The pain that causes You…
I can only imagine.

So if I can be the opposite of that

if my thoughts, words and actions
put a smile on Your face

it would be my highest honor.

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed resolve:

“He did evil in the eyes of the LORD…”
(2 Kings 3:2)

When it comes to doing good or evil, Jesus

Yours are the only eyes that matter.

My culture applauds behaviors You call sin.
My culture decries actions You command me to carry out.

Without question, my culture exerts a lot of pressure on me to conform.

But last time I checked…

at the end of my life I will stand before You
and not my culture.
