Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he is anointed…The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely. Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
(Leviticus 6:20, 22-23)

You want those who come after us to learn early on, Jesus:

A specific portion of the work we do isn’t meant to fill our bellies.

It’s to be offered in love to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered…”
(Hebrews 5:7-8)

In spite of Your sinless perfection, Jesus

if the suffering You endured was necessary for you to learn obedience

who am I to think I’m going to learn obedience

without suffering?

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.”
(Hebrews 5:7)

The whole time You were here, Jesus

You knew why You’d come.

Even so, You begged to be delivered from death.

As He sometimes says to me
Your Father said, “no.”

But to our resurrection from the dead

He says, “Yes!”

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.”
(1 Kings 3:4)

Big whoop.

Gibeon may have been the most important high place, Jesus
but Solomon was supposed to destroy all these high places –

not worship You on them.

May I never sin in the most important area of my life

in a badly mistaken notion that what I’m doing

honors You!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…a temple had not yet been built for the Name of the Lord. Solomon showed his love for the Lord by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.”
(1 Kings 3:2-3)

Solomon had an excuse for doing wrong, Jesus.

There was no temple.

But he didn’t have to go to one of those high places You so detested!

Satan will always provide me with an excuse to do wrong.

But to do wrong
there is no acceptable excuse.
