Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed…”
(2 Timothy 2:15)

I’m so glad my work matters to You, Jesus!

But nothing I do is my work alone.
I’m leaning on You every step of the way.

I don’t want my work to be merely good.
I want it to be great.

There’s only one way that can happen:

When in passionate humility
I collaborate with You!

See if you can keep track of this Lazaroo!

“Makir took a wife from among the Huppites and Shuppites.”
(1 Chronicles 7:15)

It’s fascinating to trace the ancestry of these people, Jesus!

Jacob and Rachel had two sons: Joseph and Benjamin.

Rachel died while giving birth to Benjamin
who was an ancestor of the Huppites and Shuppites.

Makir was the grandson of Benjamin’s other brother Joseph.

So when Makir chose a Huppite-Shuppite girl
he was marrying a many-times-removed cousin!

If that matters to You…

it matters to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…every man stopped when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.”
(2 Samuel 2:23)

There’s death everywhere on the battlefield, Jesus.

Why stop over Asahel’s body?
Because he was General Joab’s brother.

Not only the prominent – but everyone’s death matters to You!

It should to me

especially because it raises the most important question of all:

“Did they go to heaven or hell?”

The answer? Heaven –

but only if they had put their trust in You.
