Pray this Lazaroo in humble adoration:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective…”
(Philemon 1:6)

What an insight, Jesus.

I tend to think of faith as something totally personal
isolated from others.

But you’re showing me that it can be a partnership

with those who have put their trust in You!

Thank You, too, for the reminder

that my faith doesn’t exist merely for itself.

It has a purpose.

May You fulfill every purpose of Yours through us

as I partner with others in the faith!

Pray this Lazaroo in sober anticipation:

“But who can endure the day of his coming?”
(Malachi 3:2)

I will, Jesus.

So will every person who has put their trust in You.

Nor will we merely endure it.

We will rejoice!
Celebrate!
Triumph!

But those who’ve rejected You?

Those who refused to make You Lord of their lives?
They won’t be able to endure it.

They’ll weep!
Mourn!
Wail!

and be thrown into the fiery furnace of burning sulfur
where they will writhe in anguish forever.

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

“…women are to be worthy of respect…”
(1 Timothy 3:11)

So are the men, Jesus.

We’re not merely to demand respect.
You expect us to earn it.

How?

By the way we speak
by the way we act.

by the way we live our lives wholeheartedly for You – 

staying in Your Word
praying through the day
loving and encouraging Your people

sharing Your Good News
with those who don’t know You

showing others the same mercy
we ourselves have received from You.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.”
(Romans 2:28-29)

Wow.

You’re saying I’m not a Jew because my parents were Jews.

I’m a Jew

because I believe in You, Jesus –

the King of the Jews
the Root and Offspring of David.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate indignation:

“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!”
(Habakkuk 2:15)

They were doing that 2,600 years ago, Jesus

and they’re still doing it today.

But this isn’t merely about drunkenness, nudity and voyeurism, is it?

In that case, we might think it doesn’t apply to us.

This is about taking advantage of someone.

Now that…

may hit a little closer home.
