Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“The priests then brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles.”
(2 Chronicles 5:7-8)

This was the last time most of them would ever see the ark, Jesus.

But because of what You did on the cross
I’m meeting with You in the Most Holy Place right now!

Pray this Lazaroo with breathtaking anticipation:

“The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall.”
(2 Chronicles 3:13)

These gold-covered, sculpted cherubim stretching 30 feet from wall to wall in the Most Holy Place had to be a stunning sight, Jesus!

but only a pale shadow of the mighty angels
who stand before Your throne in heaven!

What I see here is only a hint of the stunning beauty and majesty

that await my eyes and ears where I’ll spend eternity!

Prioritize! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The gold nails weighed fifty shekels.”
(2 Chronicles 3:9)

Even the nails of the Most Holy Place in Your temple were gold, Jesus!

Some would consider this wasteful.

But they’re wrong!

You are worthy of the best we have –
for all of it comes from You.

How dare we skimp on anything we offer to You!

Of course, even our best isn’t good enough for You!

My best isn’t good enough for You!
But may I never give less.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.”
(2 Chronicles 3:8)

That’s a lot of gold, Jesus.

23 tons.
Wow.

And no ordinary gold.
Fine gold.

The current price of gold is $1,683 per ounce

There are 32,000 ounces in a ton.

So Solomon overlaid the inside of Your Most Holy Place

in Your Temple in Jerusalem with

with 1 billion
238 million
688 thousand dollars worth of gold.

A little chintzy…but I guess that’s the best he could do.

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“He built the Most Holy Place…”
(2 Chronicles 3:8)

What an honor, Jesus!

To be the person who constructed
the room holding the ark of the covenant –

more sacred than any other place on earth –

the unique focus of Your Presence among us.

Of course, Solomon didn’t do it himself.

As it is today…
it was the unnamed workers
who actually performed Your holy work.

You know which of us merely point

and which bend our backs to the labor.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the warriors are clad in scarlet.”
(Nahum 2:3)

So am I, Jesus!

I’m Your warrior against the powers of darkness
clad in the scarlet that stands for Your blood –
the blood You shed for me on the cross

which frees me from the power of sin
brings me near to You
gives me life

allows me to enter the Most Holy Place
in 1on1 relationship with You!

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn anticipation:

“…all that was done in the Most Holy Place…”
(1 Chronicles 1:49)

The Most Holy Place, Jesus

the inner sanctuary of the temple in Jerusalem

Your dwelling place on earth

containing the Ark of the Covenant

which contained the Ten Commandments
that You carved out with your own finger

entered once a year by the high priest

until its veil was torn from top to bottom at your crucifixion

now empty, covered over

buried under another’s holy place

waiting.
