Pray this Lazaroo with immediate correction:

“All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt. All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not.”
(Joshua 5:4-5)

Why do I put off doing the right thing, Jesus?

Why don’t I instantly obey?

It’s a spirit of rebellion, isn’t it?

Disguising my disobedience behind:

“Yes, I’m going to do it…but not right now.”

Away with that ugly sin, LORD!

This very moment: I choose You!

Pray this Lazaroo with enlightened awareness:

“The LORD Almighty has a day in store…for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled)…”
(Isaiah 2:12)

It’s easy to be envious of those who are being exalted, Jesus.

When we’re the ones being exalted
we rejoice at our good fortune.

But it’s not only bad people who will be humbled.

You’re saying every single person You’ve exalted
will also be humbled.

So when you lift me up, I need to understand:

Healthy humbling…

is on the way.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…their destruction has not been sleeping.”
(2 Peter 2:3)

But it feels like that, doesn’t it, Jesus?

When somebody who doesn’t believe in You does wrong
they look around and think –

“How about that! I got away with it!”

Of course, they didn’t.
If they don’t repent, their punishment is guaranteed to arrive

in Your perfect way and time.

I, on the other hand, know better.

When I sin, I’m filled with remorse.

I’m driven to repent
and make it right.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…you have plundered many nations…”
(Habakkuk 2:8)

Some nations are like that, Jesus.

So are some people.

They’re not happy with what You’ve given them.

They want more.

So they steal for themselves

what You’ve given others.

Some of them get away with it

for a while.

But as surely as You’re the righteous Judge

a day of reckoning is coming

swiftly for some
later for others

but from the moment they cross that line

it’s on the way.
