Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…David sent messengers…demanding, ‘Give me my wife Michal’…So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband Paltiel…Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, ‘Go back home!’ So he went back.”
(2 Samuel 3:14-16)

Paltiel knew King Saul gave him Michal to spite David, Jesus.

Did he surrender her to do what was right

or because he was afraid of Abner?

May no one have to threaten me, Father!

to make me do what’s right.

Pray this Lazaroo in sudden realization:

“‘I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.’ Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, ‘Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.’”
(2 Samuel 3:13-14)

David refused to abandon his wife, for whom he risked his life, Jesus

just as You refuse to abandon me
for whom You paid with Your life!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him. Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David…Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.’ ‘Good,’ said David. ‘I will make an agreement with you.’”
(2 Samuel 3:11-13)

Ish-Bosheth had good reason to be afraid of his general, Jesus…

because Abner was about to betray him.

Who among those I trust is about to betray me?

You know.
I’d like to know, too.

Heed the warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, ‘Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?’…he answered…’This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven’t handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offense involving this woman!’”
(2 Samuel 3:7-8)

Yeah, Jesus.

I want to be certain that I have all the facts
before I accuse someone of wrongdoing.

If all I have is hearsay and circumstantial evidence
I’d better keep my mouth shut.

Pray this Lazaroo in complete submission:

“Ish-Bosheth son of Saul…reigned two years.”
(2 Samuel 2:10)

Wasn’t much of a reign, was it, Jesus?

You had given the kingdom to David, not him.

As is always the case when a pretender ascends to the throne

his days were numbered.

You’re the one who raises one person to power and sets aside another.

No one can thwart Your sovereign will!

How long will I reign over my little kingdom, LORD?

Not one day longer than You say.
