Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: ‘Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?’”
(Mark 2:15-16)

These Pharisees didn’t get it, did they, Jesus?

They were sinners, too.

Please, please, please:

Never let me become that blind.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…all Levites – joined together in supervising…”
(Ezra 3:9)

I’m sure some Levites were awesome supervisors, Jesus

some less so
some not so much

and some totally stunk it up.

At least, based on my experience, that’s my guess.

Anytime everybody in one family does the same thing
some are better than others

and there’s always at least one clunker in the bunch.

For all I know

I’m that clunker in my bunch.

If so…
thanks for including me.

Be inspired to greatness as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…nothing false was found on his lips.”
(Malachi 2:6)

High praise, Jesus.

In fact, behavior supposedly that amazing is almost always overstated
unless – as in this case – the declaration comes from You.

Which means Levi was quite a guy.

It’s tough to pull off flawless honesty in public

nearly impossible to maintain it in private.

But You saw him 24/7

at his worst, at his best
and watched him pass every test.

Make me another Levi, LORD!

Starting now.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“True instruction was in his mouth…”
(Malachi 2:6)

I’m no Levi, Jesus.

I don’t approach his righteousness, faithfulness or eternal impact.
My role in life doesn’t begin to touch the awesome assignment of his.

But I beg You!

May true instruction be in my mouth.

Every time I speak of You

may it be absolutely faithful to Your holy Word.

May I always separate my opinion

from Your fact.

May nothing I say

detract from Your greatness and majesty.
