Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the Levites took up the ark…and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it…and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.”
(2 Chronicles 5:4-6)

Oh, Jesus.

I’m so glad I don’t have to kill a bunch of animals
to worship You.

You sacrificed Yourself for me!

In grateful devotion for the rest of my days
I sacrifice myself in passionate service for You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Abner… said, ‘For some time you have wanted to make David your king. Now do it! For the Lord promised David, “By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.”…Then he went to Hebron to tell David…”
(2 Samuel 3:17-19)

Since Abner knew it was Your will to make David king, Jesus

why had he fought so long against him?

Or put another way:

Since I know what You want me to do
why don’t I do it?

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…they allowed no one to cross over. At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all vigorous and strong; not one escaped. That day Moab was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace for eighty years.”
(Judges 3:28-30)

What an amazing victory, Jesus!

But the Israelites were not that superior to the Moabites.

It wasn’t them.
It was You.

Do I need to work on my skills and improve in every way possible?

Sure.

But to truly win?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Hear this, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right…because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.”
(Micah 3:9,12)

Your gift and call to be a leader is a staggering responsibility Jesus.

It gives to a human being the ability to sway others

for right
or for wrong

and then to face the consequences.

Beg God for a clean heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I know all about Ephraim; Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution; Israel is corrupt. Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. A spirit of prostitution is in their heart; they do not acknowledge the Lord.”
(Hosea 5:3-4)

The thing is, Jesus

You know exactly what’s going on inside each of us.

When it’s good
You reward us.

When it’s diabolical
You respond accordingly.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark of the Lord’s covenant from Zion, the City of David. And all the Israelites came together to the king at the time of the festival in the seventh month.”
(2 Chronicles 5:2-3)

They obeyed the king, Jesus.

But why?

Billions of people have disobeyed kings’ commands.

Very simply, You put it in their hearts to obey Solomon.

So they did.

Monday, January 2, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“All Israel…were taken captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.”
(1 Chronicles 9:1)

That’s where unfaithfulness leads, isn’t it, Jesus?

Captivity.

Ironic. The reason anyone disobeys You

is to get out from under Your commands
opting for freedom to go their own way

not realizing that Your laws
are safeguards.

Once “free” of the umbrella of protection Your statutes afford

they become sitting ducks
for everything Satan wants to do to them

hastening the day
when they’ll be manacled
staring hopelessly through bars.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age, and you will see distress in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age.”
(1 Samuel 2:31-32)

Eli honored his sinning sons over You, Jesus.

Bad mistake.

You’ve commanded me to care for my family

but never if it dishonors You.

Ask God to fill you with fiery passion, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I overthrew some of you as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched from the fire, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord. ‘Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I will do this to you, Israel, prepare to meet your God.’”
(Amos 4:11-12)

I’m a burning stick You’ve snatched from the fire, Jesus!

But hallelujah, I’m burning with new fire –

blazing with love for You!

Thursday, October 20, 2022

 

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered reflection:

“…the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.’”
(1 Samuel 2:30)

So much for the name-it-and-claim-it crowd, Jesus.

I can’t stand on every promise You’ve ever made
if I’m not standing faithfully with You.

May I honor you, my Savior

with everything I think, say and do!
