Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“…the king gave the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down and he died. The kingdom was now established in Solomon’s hands.”
(1 Kings 2:46)

As politically incorrect as it is to say it, Jesus

if there is to be peace

sometimes someone has to

leave
be kicked out
or die.

Whenever possible, You want us to work things out with each other.

But some people are nothing but hell on earth

until the day they draw their last, divisive breath.

Pray this Lazaroo in total amazement:

“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
(Genesis 3:21)

Humanly speaking, this is incomprehensible, Jesus.

Adam and Eve knowingly, deliberately, blatantly disobey You.
As a result, they discover they’re naked.

Of course, there are consequences:

They have to leave the Garden of Eden.
Work and childbirth become harder, more painful.

But instead of abandoning them

You clothe them!

O God! Your loving mercy is unfathomable!

…which is why I’m still drawing a breath on this earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“Did I not make you swear by the Lord and warn you, ‘On the day you leave to go anywhere else, you can be sure you will die’? At that time you said to me, ‘What you say is good. I will obey.’ Why then did you not keep your oath to the Lord and obey the command I gave you?”
(1 Kings 2:42-43)

What Shimei swore before You didn’t matter, Jesus!

He was rotten to the core.

Only You know those who have potential

and those who have none.

When I need to know

show me!

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the king summoned Shimei and said to him, ‘Did I not make you swear by the Lord and warn you, “On the day you leave to go anywhere else, you can be sure you will die”? At that time you said to me, ‘What you say is good. I will obey.’”
(1 Kings 2:42)

Solomon set Shimei up for failure, Jesus.

The guy just didn’t have it in himself
to do the right thing for the rest of his life

so his life was cut short.

Got it.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Get up, go away!”
(Micah 2:10)

When they come from You, Jesus

those words rock my world.

It’s so easy to become complacent where I am.

I have my routine.
I know where everything is.
I’ve carved out a spot for myself in this old world.
Even if there are things I don’t like, it’s what I’m used to.

But when You tell me to leave what’s familiar and forge a new path

I will…

as You go before me.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee.”
(John 1:43)

Where do You want to go today, Jesus?

‘Cause wherever that is
I’m with You.

Sometimes it’s fun.

Sometimes it’s not.

Depending on where You decide to take me, on any given day it can be

thrilling…terrifying
teaching…tiring
terrific…taxing.

But regardless of my emotions, it doesn’t matter

because there’s nowhere I’d rather be
than with You.

Every single day…all along the way…

I’m sticking to You like glue.

Pay close attention, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here…”
(Ruth 2:8)

Boaz told Ruth to stay put three times in 15 words, Jesus.

It was good advice and Ruth heeded it.

In fact, that’s good advice most of the time.

When things get tough, I’m tempted to go elsewhere
not realizing that sooner or later, things get tough everywhere.

There’s only one good reason to stay…or go:

because I’m following
wherever You lead.

 Pray this Lazaroo in total trust: 

“Flee from the land of the north…”
(Zechariah 2:6)

I love it when You tell me where to go, Jesus.

It makes things simple.
I know exactly what to do to please You.

At other times, You tell me to get out of the place I’m in.

That’s pretty simple, too –
at least the getting-out part.

My next question is, “Where to?”

But in Your time, You’ll show me, won’t You?

Before I leave…
or along the way.
