Pray this Lazaroo with re-burning zeal:

“Anyone who…does not continue in the teaching of Christ…
(2 John 1:9)

I gave my life to You, Jesus

because You gave Your life for me.

I was determined to obey You from that moment forward.

But I haven’t.
I’ve sinned.
A lot.

I’ve confessed my sins.

I’ve forsaken them.

Only to pick them back up again.

I have no excuse – but You see it, LORD:

within the heart of my being
is a desire to continue in Your teaching.

Forgive me!
Fill me!
Save me!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

” to…Archippus our fellow soldier…”
(Philemon 1:2)

Paul knew, Jesus:

We’re in a war.

Right against wrong.
Good against evil.
God against Satan.

In a war, you’ve gotta have soldiers

and Paul was so grateful for Archippus!

Like Paul

I’m grateful for every soldier who understands this war
and comes alongside me in the fight.

Most wars are life and death –

small potatoes compared to this one –

which is eternal life and death.

With stakes this high

I need every fellow soldier You provide!

Pray this Lazaroo in sudden realization:

“‘I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.’ Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, ‘Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.’”
(2 Samuel 3:13-14)

David refused to abandon his wife, for whom he risked his life, Jesus

just as You refuse to abandon me
for whom You paid with Your life!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Not satisfied with that…”
(3 John 1:10)

This guy Diotrephes was a real piece of work, Jesus.

He wasn’t satisfied with causing a little bit of trouble.
He wanted to create a lot –

which is why Paul called him out on it.

But that raises an interesting question:

Am I satisfied with doing a little bit of good, now and then?

Or am I not satisfied

until I am fully, completely, wholeheartedly
fulfilling Your highest plan for my life!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?”
(2 Corinthians 2:15-16)

That explains some things, Jesus!

Why some people love Your words I share with them
and others hate those same words with shocking passion.

O God!

Keep me true!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“David said about him: ‘‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.’”
(Acts 2:25)

Next time I’m in a fight for my goals, my relationships, my very life

I’m imagining You there at my right hand, Jesus.

Except it’s not my imagination.

It‘s real.
You’ll actually be there.

Let me rephrase that:

You’re here.
At my right hand.

Now.

David is right:

I will not be shaken!

Friday, September 18, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“We ought therefore to show hospitality…”
(3 John 1:8)

It’s not enough to feel hospitable, is it, Jesus?

You want me to show it.
Others want me to show it.

But do I?

It’s so easy to become consumed
with my life, my work, my family, my pursuits –

to leave others to focus on their own lives
while I focus on mine.

Clearly, however, that’s not what You desire.

Open my heart, LORD!
to everyone You’re calling into my embrace.

Pray this Lazaroo with strategic intent:

“Consider then and realize…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

The danger about life, Jesus

is that I keep tacking on day after day
allowing others to make my schedule for me
doing whatever pops into my mind

without taking time to carefully evaluate

where all this is leading me.

I know I should take stock more often than I do.

But if I don’t build into my schedule
reflective, 1on1 time with You

it’s not likely to happen, is it?

Pray this Lazaroo in confident belief:

“Arise…”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

That’s what You did for the world and for me, Jesus:

You arose.

Because You did

I will.

That takes the stinger out of the wasp of death!

To know that death is not the end
but the beginning

is the greatest gift of my life:

Life.

Eternal life!

My body may be buried here

but my spirit will soar forever with You in heaven
to be joined one day by my transformed body.
