Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…astrologers came forward and…said to King Nebuchadnezzar, ‘…Your Majesty has issued a decree that…whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. But there are some Jews …who…neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.’”
(Daniel 3:8-12)

These conniving enemies of Yours thought they had it all figured out, Jesus.

But they were wrong!

You were about to turn their schemes back on them.

I’d sincerely appreciate it if You’d do the same

to all my unrepentant enemies.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.”
(Jude 1:19)

That’s everything, isn’t it, Jesus?

To have Your Spirit living in me
because I’ve put my trust in You alone as my Savior.

Those who live by their natural instincts don’t get it.

Their actions make that abundantly clear.

The most loving thing I can do for them

is to introduce them to You
and the indwelling Majesty of Your Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn awe:

“They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.”
(Isaiah 2:21)

Such will be the behavior of all who scoffed at You, Jesus!

You were outrageously patient with their wicked behavior

but they concluded You didn’t exist
or that You were too wimpy to act.

In that day they will be the wimpy ones
running from You in fear.

Pray this Lazaroo with breathtaking anticipation:

“The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall.”
(2 Chronicles 3:13)

These gold-covered, sculpted cherubim stretching 30 feet from wall to wall in the Most Holy Place had to be a stunning sight, Jesus!

but only a pale shadow of the mighty angels
who stand before Your throne in heaven!

What I see here is only a hint of the stunning beauty and majesty

that await my eyes and ears where I’ll spend eternity!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“As Your Majesty was lying there, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen.”
(Daniel 2:29)

You Are the Revealer of Mysteries, Jesus!

You revealed Your mysteries to Daniel
so he could reveal them to the king.

I have no idea why You wanted King Nebuchadnezzar to know these things.

But I can guess at why You revealed them to Daniel:

He’s one of your all-time favorites!

…as I long to be.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred gratitude:

“…during the time of testing in the wilderness…your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.”
(Hebrews 3:8-9)

How could they do that, Jesus?

Forty years of seeing Your love, majesty and protection
and still they tested, tried and flat-out disobeyed You countless times!

The same question could be asked of me.

After all You’ve done and continue to do for me
how dare I give You anything less than my absolute best?

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings…”
(Hosea 3:5)

What a fascinating juxtaposition, Jesus:

“trembling”…and “blessing.”

So as I look at this, here’s what I’m wondering:

Do You bless those who approach You with trembling?

Well, I know You bless everyone in ways beyond counting.

But do You reserve a special blessing for those
who tremble because they recognize more than most

Your greatness, majesty, wisdom, love and power?

Awesome God!
I come trembling!

Pray this Lazaroo in jaw-dropping amazement:

“…the splendor of his majesty!”
(Isaiah 2:10)

Everywhere I look, Jesus

I stand in awe
at the splendor of Your majesty!

When I look into Your sky in the morning and see Your clouds racing by

I marvel at their beauty.

When I look into that same sky at night and glimpse innumerable stars

I’m filled with wonder.

When I’m captured by the miracle of a newborn baby

I can’t help but be stunned
by Your incomparable love.

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.
