Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“All this was recorded in the book of the annals…”
(Esther 2:23)

We have our records, Jesus

and You have Yours.

You record every good thought, word and action.

We have nothing close to that.

But some of the things recorded in our books are missing from Yours:

Every sinful thought, word or action I’ve committed

is gone, gone, gone, gone, GONE!

Paid in full by Your blood shed on the cross for me

eradicated from my relationship with You

forever.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“If we endure, we will also reign with him.”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

I’m so thankful for that promise, Jesus!

You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I won.
You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I overcame.
You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I knocked it out of the park.

You said all I’d have to do to reign with You

is endure.

Why am I grateful?

Because some days
that’s all I can do.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing awe:

“He also repaired the wall of the Pool of Siloam…”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Pretty amazing, Jesus.

There was no way Shallun could have guessed
what would one day happen there.

Five hundred years later, You healed the eyes of a man born blind.

You put mud on his eyes
then sent him to wash in the Pool of Siloam.

When he did, he could see!

It makes me wonder:

What will You do in the future
with my simple acts of obedience today?

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple, wept aloud…
(Ezra 3:12)

Everybody else was shouting with excitement and praise, Jesus.

Why not the older ones, too?

Because it reminded them of what they had lost.

Theirs were tears of remembrance –

the good times they had experienced
having no temple all this time.

I too have wept over what I’ve lost…

but believe I’ll weep again – in grateful joy.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:14)

That’s wild, Jesus!

To share in Your glory?

How can human beings do that?

We absolutely don’t deserve it.
Not even the best of us.

Especially not the worst of us –
the category to which I belong.

But that’s Your love, Your outrageous kindness

Your overwhelming generosity!

Nor are we to keep Your glory to ourselves.

We’re to make sure others get in on it, too.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.”
(2 Chronicles 3:8)

That’s a lot of gold, Jesus.

23 tons.
Wow.

And no ordinary gold.
Fine gold.

The current price of gold is $1,683 per ounce

There are 32,000 ounces in a ton.

So Solomon overlaid the inside of Your Most Holy Place

in Your Temple in Jerusalem with

with 1 billion
238 million
688 thousand dollars worth of gold.

A little chintzy…but I guess that’s the best he could do.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing awareness:

“From the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin they allotted the previously named towns.”
(1 Chronicles 6:65)

How do I respond when something I thought was mine is taken away, Jesus?

I think they call that stealing.

Last time I checked

the eighth of Your Ten Commandments
says that’s not supposed to happen.

But then You come along and say if someone takes my coat

I should let them have my shirt, too.

It’s just stuff, isn’t it?

“…Christ’s…body, which is the church.”
(Colossians 1:24)

Because I’ve placed my faith in You alone for my salvation, Jesus

I’m a member of Your global Church.

And because I’m a member of the Church You so love

I’m part of Your body!

A very tiny part, to be sure.
A too-often dysfunctional part.

But still – by Your grace alone –

I’m one of the ways You’ve chosen to present Yourself to the world!

Oh, what a holy, sobering, motivating responsibility!
