Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…the four principal gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the responsibility for the rooms and treasuries in the house of God. They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they had to guard it; and they had charge of the key for opening it each morning.”
(1 Chronicles 9:26-27)

May I always guard the place where Your people meet, Jesus!

It may be constructed of wood, brick, canvas, bamboo or stone

but it’s sacred!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“All the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets. The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord.”
(2 Chronicles 5:12-13)

You’ve given me gifts, too Jesus.

From the bottom of my heart:

Thank You!

May I work to fully develop them

to bring maximum glory to Your Great Name!

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 mounting anticipation:

“Now the first to resettle on their own property in their own towns were some Israelites, priests, Levites and temple servants.”
(1 Chronicles 9:2)

There’s nothing like coming home, Jesus.

Well…that’s true if home is a good place.

Many people have had bad experiences growing up.

So for them, returning home would be painful.

But here’s the beautiful thing I’ve got to keep in mind:

This world is not my home!

My home is with You, in heaven.

Oh, what a joy it will be
to go home.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: ‘Take a census of the Kohathite branch of the Levites by their clans and families. Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.’”
(Numbers 4:1-3)

Did you not know how many Levites there were, Jesus?

Of course You did.
You told them to count so they would know.

That happens a lot, doesn’t it?

Thanks.
I appreciate it!

Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“So Moses collected the redemption money from those who exceeded the number redeemed by the Levites. Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons, as he was commanded by the word of the Lord.”
(Numbers 3:49, 51)

Two steps, Jesus. Not just one.

1. Collect the money as You command.
2. Give it to the people You specify.

May I never stop with the first step in obeying You.

Help me take every step of obedience!

…all the way home.

Pray this Lazaroo with a pleading heart:

“Hashabiah, ruler of half the district of Keilah, carried out repairs for his district. Next to him, the repairs were made by their fellow Levites under Binnui son of Henadad, ruler of the other half-district of Keilah.”
(Nehemiah 3:17-18)

These weren’t just leaders, Jesus.

They were rulers.

When people of this stature and authority get their hands dirty in order to respond to a crisis

it inspires everyone else to do likewise.

God give us such people at the very top!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites, collect five shekels for each one…Give the money…to Aaron and his sons.”
(Numbers 3:46-48)

So, Jesus –

each family had to buy back from You every firstborn
or that child would enter Your full-time service –

a practice that helped fund the priesthood.

Regardless of what I do for a living today or in the future

I don’t want to be bought back.
I want to belong full-time to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with a responsive, willing heart:

“Next to him, the repairs were made by the Levites…”
(Nehemiah 3:17)

The Levites were incredibly busy, Jesus.

Their hands were already full!

They had to prepare to sing Psalms during Temple services

they performed construction and maintenance for the Temple
they served as guards, teachers and judges
and it was their responsibility to maintain the cities of refuge.

But they were needed, so they helped!

May that be my spirit

no matter how busy I think I am.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord also said to Moses, ‘Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites are to be mine. I am the Lord.’”
(Numbers 3:44-45)

How incredibly special it was to be a Levite, Jesus!

That had to make them feel so close to You –
because they belonged to You.

Though not a Levite, I’ve put my faith in You –

which means lock, stock and barrel:

I’m Yours!
