Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…teach the older women…”
(Titus 2:3)

Older women know a lot, Jesus.

They’ve seen a lot. Heard a lot. Felt a lot.

They’ve lived through historical events others have only read about.

They’ve experienced some of life’s best moments
and endured some of life’s worst.

They’re absolutely loaded with information, insights, secrets

to share with anyone who asks.

But they still need to be taught from Your Word

as does every person on earth
who still draws a breath.

Get flexible, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…after all, he is my older brother…”
(1 Kings 2:22)

There is a pecking order, isn’t there, Jesus?

Horses have it.
So do cats and dogs.

Human beings do, too.

Although David appointed Solomon to be his successor

Solomon’s older brother had other ideas –
with tradition on his side.

But You’ve never been bound by tradition, have You, Father?

Is there any area in my life I might be taking for granted
that You intend to turn totally upside-down?

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Teach the older men to be…worthy of respect…”
(Titus 2:2.)

That’s what I want in an older man, Jesus

…and in an older woman.

Someone who’s living out Your life in them not only now and then

…but day after day after day.

I’m not particularly needing them to be perfect, though.

Give me somebody who’s made her share of mistakes

a man who’s blown it badly
then come back humble
stronger than ever

each day…more like You.

Be grateful, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…just as Mordecai had told her to do…”
(Esther 2:20)

Blindly following the orders of another human being

can end up in tragedy, Jesus.

But not this time.

Esther was young, inexperienced.
Mordecai was not only older, but wise.

Moreover, Mordecai had only Esther’s best interests at heart.

In addition, he had proven himself to Esther –
taking her in and treating her like a daughter
when her parents died.

Most importantly – 

Mordecai knew and wholeheartedly followed You.

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

“Teach the older men to be temperate…”
(Titus 2:2)

Why did Paul list temperance first, Jesus?

What is there about being an older man
that tempts him to be intemperate?

Is it the reality of a closer finish line?

Is Satan trying to panic him into acting rashly
for fear that he may miss out on something?

But You won’t let that happen, will You?

No good thing will You withhold
from those who stay 1on1 with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…appointing Levites twenty years of age and older to supervise the building…”
(Ezra 3:8)

I can only imagine how this went over with an experienced, 40 year-old carpenter, Jesus –

having someone half his age
who had never hammered a nail

“supervise” him.

But a gifted supervisor can alleviate those concerns by being

kind
respectful
humble
encouraging
appreciative

regardless of age or lack of experience.

May I be willing to treat others
the way I want them to treat me.
