Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house…”
(Hebrews 3:5)

Faithfulness is good, Jesus.

But Your description of Moses
shows me there are degrees of faithfulness.

Apparently, it’s possible to be faithful in part of Your house

and unfaithful in others.

A husband might be faithful to church
but unfaithful to his wife.

A woman may be faithful to serve others
but unfaithful in tithes and offerings.

Help me be like Moses:

faithful in all Your house!

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid confidence:

“The LORD said to Moses…”
(Numbers 3:40)

I know You talked to Moses, Jesus, which is why we have –

Genesis…Exodus…Leviticus…Numbers…Deuteronomy…
Psalms 90…maybe the book of Job.

You gave Your Word to us through at least 40 different people

over approximately 4,228 years.

When I read the Bible, I’m not reading some person’s made-up ideas.

I’m reading Your Words to me.

That’s why my heart burns within me

when I read, hear and understand Your Word!

…my life forever changed.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed wonder:

“Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses…”
(Hebrews 3:3)

Reading those words today seems a no-brainer, Jesus.

But when they were written
most of the Jews would have considered them blasphemous.

Moses was the one through whom You worked miraculous signs and wonders to bring Your people out of Egypt

who led them 40 years in the wilderness
through whom You worked even more huge miracles.

The Jews didn’t know what we do:

It was You.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep appreciation:

“…Moses and Aaron…”
(Numbers 3:39)

They were quite a team, Jesus!

You spoke to Moses

who spoke to Aaron

who spoke to the people.

Moses felt inadequate

so You sent him Aaron.

I, too, feel inadequate.

Nor is it merely a feeling.
It’s the truth.

Who will You send to me?

Oh. Right.

I’m surrounded by these precious, sent people!

And if in the future I need anyone else

in Your perfect way and time

they will appear.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.”
(Hebrews 3:2)

That’s how faithful You Are, Jesus

that’s how faithful I want to be!

When it comes to Your house of worship on this earth

may I take care of her
do right by her
devote my best to her.

May I treat with reverence the building in which I worship –

whether brick, stone, stucco, siding, adobe, corrugated metal, canvas

under a tree

or underground, hiding from the authorities.

Pray this Lazaroo in complete awe:

“Have we not all one Father?”
(Malachi 2:10)

Yes, Jesus.

You proclaimed it through Moses 3,400 years ago:

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.”

You reaffirmed it more than 1400 years later to a crowd of stunned Jews:

“I and the Father Are One.”

The Holy Spirit Who indwells every believer

is You

which explains Your enigmatic declaration in the very beginning:

“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…”

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable obedience:

“…you shall not enter it…”
(Deuteronomy 1:37)

What a devastating thing to hear, Jesus!

Moses took his life in his hands to return to Egypt
in order to lead Your people to the Promised Land.

When the people sinned at its border
he had to endure 40 years of trials in the desert.

Then it was time to go in.
Without Moses.

Because he broke faith with You.

What’s my promised land on this earth, Father?

Help me be faithful!

Pray this Lazaroo brimming with expectation:

“…toward the sunrise…”
(Numbers 3:38)

That’s where You told Moses and Aaron and his sons to camp, Jesus –

toward the sunrise.

It’s a great place to camp for me, too.

I love the beauty of sunsets
the golden glow they cast over the landscape.

But there’s sadness, there, too
because I know it will soon be dark.

With the sunrise, however, I have more time to do something!

…with what You’ve placed in my heart.

Encamp me toward the sunrise!

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt pleading:

“Go, assemble the elders of Israel…”
(Exodus 3:16)

Israel’s elders spoke to and for Your people, Jesus.

They were seasoned, experienced, wise, trustworthy.

But for all that, the message You told Moses to deliver to them

would have been almost impossible to accept
unless you moved on the hearts of the elders to believe it –

which You did.

Do that for me, Holy Spirit!

When You send me to someone with an amazing message, please:

Go before me.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Because of you the LORD became angry with me…”
(Deuteronomy 1:37)

Well…not exactly, Jesus.

You didn’t become angry with Moses
because of what the Israelites did.

You became angry with Moses
because of his response to what they did.

Everybody stands before You for their own actions –

not those of someone else –

because we’re all accountable directly to You.

So maybe I’d better focus on my own
thoughts, words, actions

instead of trying to control – or blame – somebody else.
