Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“You will be filled with shame instead of glory.”
(Habakkuk 2:16)

No!

That can’t happen, Jesus.
Not if I have anything to say about it.

Well…even more importantly:
Not if I have anything I can do about it.

And I can!

I can repent of my sins and stop committing them –
especially those I’ve been guilty of, again and again.

I can obey You – instantly – when I see in Your Word
what You want me to do.

Glory!

Not shame.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Thirty-eight years passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the Zered Valley. By then, that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them. The Lord’s hand was against them until he had completely eliminated them from the camp.”
(Deuteronomy 2:14-15)

To say You’re not pleased when Your people refuse to obey You, Jesus

is putting it mildly.

When You tell me to jump, I’m asking only one question:

“How high?”

You love doing this for us, Jesus –

giving us huge incentive to honor You.

to become everything You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-thumping anticipation:

“Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will be the LORD’s.”
(Obadiah 1:21)

Of course, all the kingdoms of the earth belong to You, Jesus.

And if there are any kingdoms elsewhere in the cosmos
those are Yours, too.

But You’re talking about what happens on our end, aren’t You?

It’s when we make You our LORD
and obey You with all our hearts

that our kingdom
becomes wholly Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, but his mother spoke up and said, ‘No! He is to be called John.’”
(Luke 1:59-60)

Her husband’s lack of belief had already cost them both, Jesus.

Elizabeth wasn’t about to make the same mistake.

You had told them their son’s name was to be John.

So John is what she named him.

May I obey You

with that same conviction!

Wednesday, December 16, 2020

 

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%.

Saturday, November 28, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with all your heart:

“…the LORD has a charge to bring against you…: ‘There is…no love…’”
(Hosea 4:1)

Of course, there’s love of a kind, Jesus…

just not true love.

We love things –

often, the wrong things.

We love what we can get out of people

instead of loving the people who give.

We say we love You

but words are cheap.

To love You means to obey You.

and that’s expensive!

Of course, it also pays off –

for those who have faith.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“…mighty are those who obey his command.”
(Joel 2:11)

I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, Jesus

but it doesn’t take a genius to grasp this marvelous truth:

If I want to be mighty
I’ve got to obey You!

Why would I want to be mighty?

Because that’s what it takes
to accomplish what You’ve called me to do.

Because that’s what I need
to be able to thwart Satan’s every malicious attack.

Mighty God!

Help me obey!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”
(2 John 1:6)

We’re not to obey everything, are we, Jesus?

Obedience – all by itself – is not the goal.

There are countless people issuing orders in my direction –

presidents, governors, mayors, bosses, doctors, experts, friends, family.

When should I obey them?

When their orders are in harmony with Your commands.

When should I wisely but staunchly disobey them?

When doing so would require me to disobey You.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate commitment:

“…you who do what he commands…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

I long to be one of those people, Jesus!

There’s a difference between asking You to be my Savior
and becoming one of Your followers, isn’t it?

Well…there shouldn’t be
but for some people there is.

There are those who merely try to use You for a fire escape.

They want to make heaven and miss hell.

So do I!

But You also call me to do everything You say.
