Pray this Lazaroo in solemn recognition:

“His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue. He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims; like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.”
(Psalm 10:7-9)

The key to this description, Jesus?

“…like a lion…”

You’re the Lion of Judah.

Satan is trying to be like You

and spectacularly failing.

Seek Him now, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them. Then I will return to my lair until they have borne their guilt and seek my face—in their misery they will earnestly seek me.”
(Hosea 5:14-15)

I don’t want it to come to that, Jesus.

Let me own up to my guilt now.

May not misery, but love!

draw me into Your very heart.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…Ephraim turned to Assyria, and sent to the great king for help. But he is not able to cure you, not able to heal your sores. For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.”
(Hosea 5:13-14)

May I never turn to anyone else for help Jesus –

not for my relationships, my finances, my health.

You alone are my Deliverer, my Supplier, my Healer.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Bold and arrogant…”
(2 Peter 2:10)

Bold is good, Jesus –

provided it’s accompanied by total dependence on You.

But when coupled with arrogance?

Bold is always bad –

sometimes immediately
sometimes later.

There are times when bold arrogance appears to work

but that’s only when there’s a long fuse

leading to the moment
when it blows up in their face.

Which is not to say timidity is the answer!

Why be timid

when humbly following You
enables me to be bold as a lion?

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…with nothing to fear…The lion killed enough for his cubs and strangled the prey for his mate, filling his lairs with the kill and his dens with the prey.”
(Nahum 2:11-12)

This is imagery, Jesus.

You’re not really talking about lions.

You’re rebuking a sinful nation
who once acted like the king of beasts

but who now, because of their disobedience
have lost their fangs.

Do I live in such a country, Father?

Among a people once righteous and strong
who have forsaken You?

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Where now is the lions’ den, the place where they fed their young, where the lion and lioness went…”
(Nahum 2:11)

The lion and lioness need a den, Jesus –

a place to rest
to hide from their enemies
to call home.

And so do my precious brothers and sisters around the world.

But some of them are too poor.
Others are being attacked, fleeing for their lives.

O God!

Rescue them!
Don’t let the enemy overtake them.

I beg You.

Pray this Lazaroo in 2022 determination:

“Where now is the lions’ den, the place where they fed their young…”
(Nahum 2:11)

The place where we feed our young

is sacred, Jesus.

But there’s more than one way to feed our little ones.

Physical food is important
but not nearly as important as spiritual food.

The place where the next generation learns about You

can either make them
or ruin them.

It’s my job to be certain

that what they’re taught
brings them into deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“‘In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravenous lion. You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord: ‘Have I been a desert to Israel or a land of great darkness? Why do my people say, “We are free to roam; we will come to you no more”?’”
(Jeremiah 2:30-31)

May I never dismiss Your warnings, Jesus!

Open my eyes wide
sharpen my hearing.

Cause me to repent

so I can be spared.

Saturday, October 30, 2021

 

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Where now is the lions’ den…”
(Nahum 2:11)

Is it about lions you’re concerned, Jesus?

Yes…

but not this time.

These are the people of Ninevah who viewed themselves as lions

believing they could always return to the safety of their homes

as lions return to their dens.

You gave them their chance to repent at the preaching of Jonah

and they did…

for a time…

then went right back to sinning.

When I repent, Holy Spirit…

rise up within me to make it stick!

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered passion:

“This is what the Lord says: ‘As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s mouth only two leg bones or a piece of an ear, so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued, with only the head of a bed and a piece of fabric from a couch.’”
(Amos 3:12)

Talk about bleak, Jesus!

Wow.

After You sic their enemies on them…

not much will be left.

May I live in such a way

that You’re never forced to do the same to me.
