Pray this Lazaroo in total amazement:

“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
(Genesis 3:21)

Humanly speaking, this is incomprehensible, Jesus.

Adam and Eve knowingly, deliberately, blatantly disobey You.
As a result, they discover they’re naked.

Of course, there are consequences:

They have to leave the Garden of Eden.
Work and childbirth become harder, more painful.

But instead of abandoning them

You clothe them!

O God! Your loving mercy is unfathomable!

…which is why I’m still drawing a breath on this earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with a higher perspective:

“I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:12-13)

Those are a gift from You, Jesus!

But not everyone gets to enjoy them.

Some of the best people You’ve created

experience a brutally hard life on this earth.

But because of their steadfast faithfulness to You

their forever is going to be oh, so sweet!

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting excitement:

“…our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

Oh, Jesus.

Thank You for eternal encouragement!

I’ve never known anything else like it.

All other encouragement on this earth is short-lived.

Hopeful today…discouraged tomorrow.
Happy today…sad tomorrow.
Feeling good today…feeling bad tomorrow.

But Yours is the encouragement that never wanes.

In fact, as I draw closer to the day I draw my last breath

it keeps getting stronger.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.”
(Acts 2:29-30)

You, Jesus! David’s descendant!

David breathed his last breath on this earth
believing You would come.

Now, in heaven

he is watching in utter joy
as the miracle of You unfolds.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.”
(2 Corinthians 2:17)

You reward everyone who serves You, Jesus!

Some earn their living serving You and Your people.
Others serve You and Your people without pay

on this earth.

But oh, the untold treasure they’re laying up in heaven!

where moth and rust do not destroy
and strangers, friends, family and the government

cannot steal.

Pray this Lazaroo in relaxed anticipation:

“…the exiles…will possess the towns of the Negev.”
(Obadiah 1:20)

Finding out they were going to be given towns

probably sounded great, Jesus…

until they found out they were in a desert

of brown, rocky, dusty mountains
filled with deep craters and dry riverbeds.

Inhospitable? Sure.

But they were exiles.
They made do.

My accommodations on this earth are temporary.

Until I arrive at my permanent home in heaven

I’ll take what I get
and not throw a fit.

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

“…just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.”
(Hebrews 3:2)

That’s how faithful You Are, Jesus

that’s how faithful I want to be!

When it comes to Your house of worship on this earth

may I take care of her
do right by her
devote my best to her.

May I treat with reverence the building in which I worship –

whether brick, stone, stucco, siding, adobe, corrugated metal, canvas

under a tree

or underground, hiding from the authorities.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“You who are Gentiles by birth…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

It doesn’t matter what I am by birth, Jesus.

Maybe it does to some people.

But not to You.

What counts is the fact that I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead.

What matters is that I give myself wholly to You

trusting You alone for any hope I have on this earth
and for eternity in heaven.

Rebirth!

Walking daily in You.

That’s what matters.
