Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Take the Levites for me in place of all the firstborn of the Israelites, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites. I am the Lord.”
(Numbers 3:41)

Yes, You Are LORD, Jesus!

When You struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, you set apart for Yourself every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal, declaring them to be Yours –

just as You are the firstborn of all creation.

Pray this Lazaroo with an eager to obey heart:

“Joshua and all the Israelites…went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over.”
(Joshua 3:1)

There are many reasons to camp before crossing over, Jesus.

Some of them good.

Others…not so much.

Sometimes it’s being afraid of the crossing
or fear of what’s on the other side.

At other times it’s procrastination
or a preference for the known, over the unknown.

But may I never hesitate to cross any river in my path

to go where You send me!

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude and love:

“…remember that at that time you were…excluded from citizenship in Israel…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

Because I believe in You, Jesus

I’m a Christian.
My home is in heaven.
I’m part of Your Church.

But may I never forget the miracle You performed when I prayed to receive You as my Savior:

You included me in Israel!

I’m now eligible for every promise You’ve ever made to Your dearly loved people.

I, who was once an outcast

am now a Jew.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…all the people are melting in fear because of us.”
(Joshua 2:24)

The men Joshua sent to spy out the land needed that encouragement, Jesus!

So did Joshua and the Israelites.

You were calling them to attack a huge, fortified city.

They had never done anything like this.

To realize You had gone before them and weakened the resolve of their enemies provided a huge boost of confidence.

You were with them!

Remind me each day, LORD:

You’ve gone ahead of me!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…the little ones you said would be taken captive…”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

The Israelites in the desert missed that prediction, Jesus.

They looked at their circumstances
concluding they knew where their steps were taking them.

But they were 100% wrong.

I’m ashamed to admit I can identify.

When will I stop looking behind me and around me
to guess the future?

The only direction I need to look is up –

straight to You –

the One who determines my every step.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit

“Afterward the Israelites will return…”
(Hosea 3:5)

That’s what it usually takes for me to return to You, Jesus…

a sign, a tragedy, an event, a message
something that rocks my world.

Only then do I do what I should have done without any push from You:

Turn around, head in the right direction
all the way back home.

Of course, if we’re talking what I should have done…

I never should have strayed from You to begin with.

Bow in gratitude to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For the Israelites will live many days…without ephod…”
(Hosea 3:4)

What a loss, Jesus!

Your people were accustomed to being able to go to the priest
who would consult the Urim and Thummim in the ephod
and You would show them the way they were to take.

I’ve lived all my life without the ephod, Father –

but not without Your direction!

for You’ve given Your people something far more intimate than the ephod.

O Holy Spirit!
I have You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Because of you the LORD became angry with me…”
(Deuteronomy 1:37)

Well…not exactly, Jesus.

You didn’t become angry with Moses
because of what the Israelites did.

You became angry with Moses
because of his response to what they did.

Everybody stands before You for their own actions –

not those of someone else –

because we’re all accountable directly to You.

So maybe I’d better focus on my own
thoughts, words, actions

instead of trying to control – or blame – somebody else.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“I will give him…the land he set his feet on…”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

That’s quite a promise, Jesus.

Of course, Caleb deserved it.

When 10 of the 12 men Moses sent to spy out Canaan returned

only he and Joshua believed You would keep Your promise
and enable the Israelites to take it.

I’m no Caleb, Father.

But with all my heart
I believe You will keep Your promises to me!

Please.

Give me the land You’ve reserved for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“The God of your fathers has sent me to you…”
(Exodus 3:13)

Could there be anything stronger, Jesus?

Well, yes –
if the God of my fathers came in Person.

But apart from that, wow. What an attention-getter!

depending on who it was who spoke those words, of course.

This time it was Moses – a man imminently to be trusted.

Of course, the Israelites didn’t know that.

If You ever send me a Moses

Give me the discernment to listen.
