Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel. But now I have chosen Jerusalem for my Name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.”
(2 Chronicles 6:5-6)

Saul wasn’t Your choice, Jesus.

He was the king the people wanted.

Thank You for wanting –

and choosing me!

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into…a land flowing with milk and honey.”
(Exodus 3:17)

You kept Your promise, Jesus!

You always do.

Of course, there were a lot of tests, trials and battles

between the time Your people left and the time they arrived – 

as there almost always is.

Because of their repeated disobedience

many of them didn’t get to experience that milk and honey.

Help me learn from their mistakes!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed wonder:

“Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses…”
(Hebrews 3:3)

Reading those words today seems a no-brainer, Jesus.

But when they were written
most of the Jews would have considered them blasphemous.

Moses was the one through whom You worked miraculous signs and wonders to bring Your people out of Egypt

who led them 40 years in the wilderness
through whom You worked even more huge miracles.

The Jews didn’t know what we do:

It was You.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Hear this word the LORD has spoken…against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt…”
(Amos 3:1)

That had to be terrifying for them, Jesus

…and heartbreaking for You.

You had worked miracle after miracle for Your people

only to have them ignore it and run after false gods
who hadn’t done a thing for them
and couldn’t.

I’ve had experience doing things for people with short memories

which is why I’m so thankful that You
are watching.

Pray this Lazaroo in rock-solid confidence:

“Out of Egypt I called my son.”
(Matthew 2:15)

Because of Micah’s prophecy

the people of Bethlehem believed You’d be theirs, Jesus

They may not have liked hearing:

“Jesus of Nazareth.”

Now, Matthew shows Egypt can hold claim on You!

Contradictions?
Hardly.

Your mother was from Nazareth…but because of Caesar’s census

You were born in Bethlehem.

When Herod tried to kill you,

Your parents hid You in Egypt.

In short, You get around!

All the way to me.
