Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.”
(James 2:20-22)

Works without faith is dead, Jesus.

But so is faith without works.

I need both.

Help me, Father!

Oh, how I need both!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Then the Lord said to him, ‘Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.’ So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. ‘This,’ said the Lord, ‘is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.’”
(Exodus 4:4-5)

I don’t know about the Egyptians, Jesus…

but that sure would do it for me.

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

“…the God of…Jacob…”
(Exodus 3:16)

When You identify Yourself as a specific person’s God

You’re telling me something important, Jesus.

Jacob was a liar, a cheat, a conniver and a thief.

He loved one of his wives and not the other.
He had an excuse for that…but not before You.

And oh, yeah…

he was the grandson of Abraham
and father of 12 sons who became the 12 tribes of Israel.

Which – among other things – means:

You’ll use anybody.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…the God of…Isaac…”
(Exodus 3:16)

It helps to see who You’re willing to be associated with, Jesus.

Isaac was born when his dad Abraham was 100 years old
and his mother Sarah was 90!

Abraham almost sacrificed him
because that’s what he thought You wanted.

No, Isaac wasn’t perfect.

He lied about his wife.
Played favorites with his children.

But You accomplished great things through this flawed man.

Please, LORD!

Accomplish great things through even more deeply flawed

me.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“People from the Negev will occupy the mountains of Esau…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

When people living in the desert are able to capture mountain fortresses

it’s Your doing, Jesus.

Isaac’s twin sons Jacob and Esau didn’t get along very well –

especially after Jacob stole Esau’s blessing and birthright.

Even though the boys made up later in life

Esau’s descendants took out their anger on Jacob’s
…and triggered Yours.

Help me get over past hurts, Father!

so I can enjoy Your blessings.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“Solomon took a census of all the aliens who were in Israel…”
(2 Chronicles 2:17)

I’d have been an alien in that census, Jesus

a foreigner
a stranger
a misfit

I’m not descended from Abraham, Isaac or Jacob.

I’m not even sure who all my ancestors are
except that if I go back far enough…

I’m pretty sure I go back to Adam. 😉

But I’m no longer an alien, am I?

Thanks to the cross
I’m family.
