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 with locked-in faith:

“The king also said to Shimei, ‘You know in your heart all the wrong you did to my father David. Now the Lord will repay you for your wrongdoing. But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will remain secure before the Lord forever.’”
(1 Kings 2:44-45)

For a long time, it looked like Shimei would get away with his detestable behavior, Jesus.

But You saw to it:

He didn’t.

Those who refuse to trust in You

never do.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“All the objects that Huram-Abi made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan…All these things…amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze could not be calculated.”
(2 Chronicles 4:16-18)

Whatever I do for You, spend for You, sacrifice for You, Jesus

is never enough!

But oh, the joy of giving my all

knowing my all

is all You require!

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“So Huram finished the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God…”
(2 Chronicles 4:11)

So many of us start, Jesus…

so few of us finish

and finish well.

Huram did more than start doing the work You gave him.

He finished it.

Help me not only start doing what You want me to do

when You want me to start it

but help me finish what You want me to do

when You want me to finish it.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Daughters of Jerusalem, come out, and look, you daughters of Zion. Look on King Solomon wearing a crown, the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, the day his heart rejoiced.”
(Song of Songs 3:10-11)

Is she referring to Solomon’s first wedding, Jesus?

Because in disobedience to You
he took many wives – 700 in all.

Many of them were idol worshipers, who in time turned his heart from You.

Remind me, Jesus!
More…isn’t always best.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate commitment:

“King Solomon made for himself the carriage; he made it of wood from Lebanon. Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior inlaid with love.”
(Song of Songs 3:9-10)

What was the costliest ingredient in Solomon’s carriage, Jesus?

It wasn’t the wood, silver, purple or gold, was it?

It was the love.

May the interior of my life – the heart of me – my very being!

always be inlaid with love.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“He made the curtain of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim worked into it. For the front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits long, each with a capital five cubits high.”
(2 Chronicles 3:14-15)

King Solomon didn’t actually do the work, Jesus

but he’s the one who ordered it done.

If he hadn’t, the temple wouldn’t have been built.

From leader to worker

it takes us all!

Pray this Lazaroo with a learning heart:

“King Solomon was told that Joab had fled to the tent of the Lord and was beside the altar. Then Solomon ordered Benaiah son of Jehoiada, ‘Go, strike him down!’”
(1 Kings 2:29)

Joab was a powerful man, Jesus – the head of Israel’s army.

Solomon’s father David had tried to remove him, to no avail.
So he counseled his son Solomon to do it.

How did Solomon succeed when his father couldn’t?

You. Only You.
It was Your time.

Pray this Lazaroo in thoughtful recognition:

“Go back to your field…You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark of the Sovereign Lord before my father David and shared all my father’s hardships.”
(1 Kings 2:26)

I love Solomon’s decision, Jesus!

For attempting to overthrow King Solomon
Abiathar deserved to die.

But Solomon spared his life
out of respect for his past service to his father

It’s not about this moment alone, is it, Father?

Help me remember!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died.”
(1 Kings 2:25)

Adonijah was Solomon’s brother, Jesus

but for his conniving attempt to overthrow his younger brother –

whom You anointed king –

he paid with his life.

The first time Adonijah proclaimed himself king

Solomon warned him never to pull a stunt like that again.

But in Adonijah’s case
forewarned was not forearned.

Dear LORD:

Help me learn from this hard example!
