Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…in the presence of the king.”
(Esther 2:23)

King Xerxes reigned over 127 provinces in the citadel of Susa, Jesus.

Mordecai the Jew had foiled a plot to assassinate the king.

His action was being recorded in the book of the annals
while the king looked on.

Nobody has to record for You what I’ve done, Father.

You know everything I think
hear every word I say.

May I always remember:

Everything I do is in Your Presence!

Pray this Lazaroo in determined belief:

“…she continued to follow Mordecai’s instructions as she had done when he was bringing her up.”
(Esther 2:20)

But she was now queen, Jesus!

She didn’t have to do what Mordecai said.

Besides, he was only her cousin who took her in after the death of her parents.

But she had lived long enough under Mordecai’s care
to see that he was a true man of God.

O LORD!

May I be such a light for those around me!

Be grateful, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…just as Mordecai had told her to do…”
(Esther 2:20)

Blindly following the orders of another human being

can end up in tragedy, Jesus.

But not this time.

Esther was young, inexperienced.
Mordecai was not only older, but wise.

Moreover, Mordecai had only Esther’s best interests at heart.

In addition, he had proven himself to Esther –
taking her in and treating her like a daughter
when her parents died.

Most importantly – 

Mordecai knew and wholeheartedly followed You.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…Esther had kept secret her family background…”
(Esther 2:20)

She had to, Jesus.

She was a hated Jew.

There were those who would have attempted to dethrone her –

even kill her! –

if her nationality became known.

But why?
The Jews are Your chosen people!

Perhaps that’s why.

Jealousy plays a part…but there’s more.

Satan was the one behind all the hatred

as always.

He was doing his best to stop the ancestral line that led to You

and utterly failed.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate.”
(Esther 2:19)

That’s where I choose to be, Jesus –

at the King’s gate.

Not King Xerxes’ gate, the place Mordecai had camped out.

Your gate.

Of course, I know You’re everywhere at once.

Only You. Only You.

But I’m talking about the place where You’re acting, moving

making things happen.

Wherever You Are

that’s where I want to be.

Right in the middle of it.

Nowhere else
holds any interest for me.

Pray this Lazaroo…in awe:

“…he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen…”
(Esther 2:17)

What a moment for Esther, Jesus!

And what a moment for her people, the Jews.

Little did either of them know You were behind it, Father

that there was coming a day when she would be needed
to save Your chosen nation from annihilation.

How many of the moments of my life have strategic future implications?

Knowing You, I’d have to guess…

all of them.

Pray this Lazaroo in prayerful trust:

“Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters…”
(Ruth 2:5)

Every leader’s got to have one of these, Jesus –

a foreman
a man or woman who heads up the project

makes sure it get done
and done right.

The top person can only do so much.

Of course, there’s a risk.

A great foreman is an enormous support to the leader.
A disloyal foreman deviously pursues his own agenda.

Please, Father!

Bring alongside every Godly leader
a great foreman.
