Pray this Lazaroo in passionate devotion:

“Moses answered, ‘What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, “The Lord did not appear to you”?’ Then the Lord said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’ ‘A staff,’ he replied. The Lord said, ‘Throw it on the ground.’ Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it.”
(Exodus 4:1-3)

First You had to make Moses believe, didn’t You, Jesus?

You’ve done that for me, too!

Now it’s my job to share my faith with others.

Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“So Moses collected the redemption money from those who exceeded the number redeemed by the Levites. Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons, as he was commanded by the word of the Lord.”
(Numbers 3:49, 51)

Two steps, Jesus. Not just one.

1. Collect the money as You command.
2. Give it to the people You specify.

May I never stop with the first step in obeying You.

Help me take every step of obedience!

…all the way home.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable persistence:

“So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the Lord’s command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country.”
(Deuteronomy 1:43)

I know how Moses feels, Jesus

well…just a little.

I’ve shared warnings You’ve shared with me

only to have people ignore me

and even worse, ignore You!

But just when I start to climb up on my soap box of holier-than-thou

You remind me of times

when I’ve ignored Your warning.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord also said to Moses, ‘Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites are to be mine. I am the Lord.’”
(Numbers 3:44-45)

How incredibly special it was to be a Levite, Jesus!

That had to make them feel so close to You –
because they belonged to You.

Though not a Levite, I’ve put my faith in You –

which means lock, stock and barrel:

I’m Yours!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing confidence:

“…I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.”
(Exodus 3:20)

Mind-blowing, Jesus.

Before you turned Moses’ staff into a snake, then back into a staff
before you turned his hand leprous, then healed

before the plagues of blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock deaths, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, firstborn deaths…

You orchestrated exactly how it was going to play out…

as You are doing with me.

Let the goose bumps multiply, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations…”
(Colossians 1:26)

You revealed so much to Your kings and prophets, Jesus –

to Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Isaiah –

but You saved some of Your best stuff for Your Church.

For me.

Everything You did in the past was pointing to this!

May I never be jealous of what they had back then, Father.
Because today – with You in me and I in You –

I’m livin’ the dream.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“So Moses counted all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the Lord commanded him.”
(Numbers 3:42)

Is that what You liked most about Moses, Jesus?

He did what You commanded him.

Is that true of me?

Do I do what You command me?

Yes.
Most of the time.

But that’s not good enough, is it?

It wasn’t for Moses.

The one time he didn’t do what You told him
it cost him the Promised Land.

From now on, LORD:

I’m shooting for 100%.

Pray this Lazaroo armed for battle:

“…you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’”
(Exodus 3:18)

When You meet with me through Your Word and send me on a mission

I have no choice but to obey

even – or especially!
when the mission is to go to an unbeliever.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“The elders of Israel will listen to you.
(Exodus 3:18)

That had to greatly encourage Moses, Jesus!

After all, he had been gone from Egypt 40 years.

When he left, he was fleeing for his life
having killed an Egyptian for beating a fellow Israelite.

Of course, when he showed up at the age of 80

no one would recognize him, no one would believe him

unless You made them.

Intervene in my life like that, Father!

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given discernment:

“Moses was…testifying to what would be said in the future.”
(Hebrews 3:5)

Moses couldn’t have done that with any accuracy whatsoever, Jesus

unless You had revealed the future to him.

You alone know the future. Apart from You –

If anyone claims to be able to foretell what will happen

they’re guessing.

That goes for mediums, spiritists, false prophets, soothsayers

talk show hosts, politicians, pundits, authors
and highly-educated experts.

‘Cause a well-informed, thoughtful
carefully-researched educated guess

is still a guess.
