Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…listen carefully…”
(Ezekiel 3:9)

Why wouldn’t I listen carefully…

when it’s You speaking, Jesus?

Every word of Yours is flawless.

You alone have the words of eternal life!

You spoke the worlds into existence.

I exist because You spoke me into life.

So why do I sometimes only half-listen when Your Word

is taught
sung
preached?

How dare I?

You deserve greater respect than that.

I cannot survive

let alone thrive

without the sustaining power

of Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“Reflect on what I am saying…”
(2 Timothy 2:7)

Not a bad idea with anyone, Jesus.

The better attention I pay to what someone says

the greater my understanding of their words
and of the person who speaks them.

Which is why, when it comes to Your Word

reflection is not an option.
It’s essential.

I’ve got to understand what You’re saying to me.

But even more importantly

I long to know better and better
the One saying it.
