Pray this Lazaroo in dumfounded awe:

“Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep.”
(Zechariah 4:1)

Up to now, Jesus, the angel had been speaking to Zechariah at night, in a vision.

But no longer.

As if to underscore the reality of all You sent him to tell the prophet

the angel he had seen in his vision
woke him up…

and there he was!
visible to the naked eye
in the same room with Zechariah.

Wow.

You can do anything, LORD.

Absolutely anything.

Watch it happen! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will leave you no prey on the earth.’”
(Nahum 2:13)

What happens to a carnivore when there’s no longer any prey, Jesus?

If they have nothing to kill

they can’t eat.

If they have nothing to eat

they’ll die.

You’re slow to anger, abounding in love.

But when Your patience is met by unrelenting, vicious behavior

You pronounce sentence.

Pray this Lazaroo in respectful awe:

“So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

Paul longed to return to the believers in Thessalonica, Jesus

but Satan blocked him.

We don’t know how or why.

But You either let it happen or caused it to happen
because Satan can thwart no plan of Yours!

Was sending Timothy in his place second best?

No.

You’re Sovereign.

That was Your plan all along.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So when we could stand it no longer…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

I love knowing that Paul had that emotion, Jesus!

But it was more than mere emotion, wasn’t it?
You were moving on his heart to do something about it –

which is exactly what he did.

Work through my emotions too, LORD!

May they not be unreliable, leading me astray.
May they instead be guided by You

goading me, prompting me, pushing me, driving me

to do the very things You’ve called me to do!

Take solemn note, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs. The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim, to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years.”
(Judges 3:7-8)

After all You had done for them,

how could they forget You, Jesus?

But they did.
And so have I.

But no longer!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…remember that at that time you were…foreigners to the covenants of the promise…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

I love the way You put this, Jesus

because through it, You’re teaching me so much!

“…at that time” means:

It’s no longer the case!

I’m no longer a foreigner to Your covenants of the promise!

“remember” means:

It’s vital that I always remember
where I’ve come from
and how far You’ve brought me.

I – once an undeserving outsider –

am now part of Your Forever Family.

(Leviticus 4:26)

That’s the way it used to work, Jesus.

You’re the One who set it up.

No longer.
There’s a new Priest in town:

I don’t have to go to another person any longer –

somebody as messed up as I am.

I can go straight to You – perfect, sinless, pure, all-powerful.

You don’t forgive me because of my words.
You forgive when You see true repentance in my heart.

The goat had to die, Jesus

because of the leader’s sin.

You no longer give us that command.

Your death on the cross
pays for our sins in full.

Your resurrection

proves You have the power and authority
to forgive every sin.

But how many of Your people have ended up scapegoats

for their leader’s sin?

O God!

Give us leaders after Your own heart
full of compassion for Your people.

“Aaron and his descendants were the ones who presented offerings…on the altar of incense…”
(1 Chronicles 6:49)

This altar of incense was Your idea, Father

about 18 inches square
maybe three feet high

made of acacia wood
overlaid with pure gold

the famous “horns of the altar” built into it
where those who feared for their lives ran to take hold.

No longer!

thanks to Your Son’s death on the cross in my behalf
the most fragrant offering of all time.
