Pray this Lazaroo in holy, grateful fear:

“Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.”
(Zechariah 3:3)

Not exactly the attire you want to be wearing in front of an angel, Jesus.

On second thought, You’ve assigned an angel to me

which means he’s seen me with and without
every piece of clothing I’ve ever owned.

It’s a little unnerving

to realize in this room with me right now
could be the invisible, protective presence
of someone so powerful

but incredibly comforting.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“They…hoard plunder and loot in their fortresses.”
(Amos 3:10)

At first glance, this has nothing to do with me, Jesus.

But on second look, it nails me between the eyes.

The key word is “hoard,” isn’t it?

Could that apply to the things I’ve acquired
that I haven’t used for a long time –

things I’m holding onto “in case” I might need them?
Things I should let go of and share with others

who need them right now?

Wow.
Ouch.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled gratitude:

“If a member of the community sins unintentionally…he is guilty.”
(Leviticus 4:27)

Wow, Jesus.

That…sounds harsh.

I mean…if a person didn’t mean to do anything wrong…

…You know?

But on second thought, I guess I understand.

Wrong is wrong…whether I knew it or not.
I either did it…or didn’t do it.

Whether or not I meant to do it
it’s still done –

and I’m the one who did it.

I’ll tell you one thing:

I am so GRATEFUL for Your grace!

Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Remember Jesus Christ…”
(2 Timothy 2:8)

Seems like an unnecessary reminder, Jesus.

Who could forget You?

But on second thought…

I do.

Oh, not in the sense that I don’t remember who You are.

But in my head-long rush to do what I want to do
how often do I forget to first check in –
to see what You want me to do?

Of course, that oversight results in me begging you afterwards

to fix what I messed up.
