Pray this Lazaroo in patient trust:

“…out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you. For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:17-18)

Sometimes it’s not how badly I want it, is it, Jesus?

I mean…if the Apostle Paul intensely desired something and didn’t get it –

I’m talking about the man
through whom You raised the dead

the man through whom You gave us
more New Testament books than any other –

then, who am I to think I might not have to wait

for Your perfect time.

Sunday, January 23, 2022

 

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.”
(1 Corinthians 3:5-7)

Oh, Jesus.

Thank You for the teachers You’ve given me.

But I’m relying on You alone

to make me grow!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter trust:

“…we wanted to come to you…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:18)

I don’t always get what I want, Jesus.

It’s kind of comforting to note:

Neither did Paul!

Maybe I should rephrase that:

“I don’t always get what I think I want.”

You’ve let me have my way enough times to prove to me:

Sometimes what looks good from a distance

isn’t at all good up close.

I don’t need any more proof, Father.

Give me only what You know is best!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:2-4)

You revealed this mystery to Paul, Jesus

so he could explain how, in dying for my sins

and rising from the dead

You’ve secured for me a home with You

forever in heaven!

Pray this Lazaroo in trusting submission:

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man…”
(1 Timothy 2:12)

It’s doubtful that Paul would follow such a practice today, Jesus.

In that culture, female leadership over men
was a stumbling block to the advancement of Your kingdom.

So he asked women with those gifts and skills

to graciously exercise them with other women.

O God! May I be willing to make any sacrifice

for the sake of Your great Name!

Mean it all the way to the marrow of your bones, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:17)

Paul really wanted this, Jesus

and You didn’t give it to him!

Through Paul You gave us much of the New Testament!

Through Him You healed the sick and raised the dead!

But when he passionately desired something outside of Your will

You said no.

Just because he thought it was best didn’t mean it was.

So, please, LORD:

Do the same for me.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
(Galatians 2:21)

Paul’s passionate for a reason, Jesus:

You’re the one speaking this truth through him!

I should do my best to live an absolutely holy life.

But no matter how hard I try, I’ll always fall short.

It’s Your grace – the loving price You paid for me on the cross

then rising from the dead –

that is my one, sure hope.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble transparency:

“…we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought)…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:17)

Paul is opening up, isn’t he, Jesus?

He had some spiritual moms and dads in that city!

Men and women who cared for Paul’s needs
like he was one of their own.

O God!

Help me be that to the young Christians coming up around me!

And if it pleases You…

grant me a few precious people who will be that to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with Scriptural balance:

“If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker. For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.”
(Galatians 2:18-19)

Paul was being attacked for the message You gave Him, Jesus:

We’re saved by faith in You
not by the things we do.

But You also wanted him to make crystal clear:

What we do for You matters!

And so does our determination to show our love for You

by living holy lives.

Take it to heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

Paul had just finished telling the men what he wanted them to do, Jesus –

lifting up holy hands in prayer
without anger or disputing.

Now, he’s asking the women of the church

to dress in a way that glorifies You.

My guess is he’s correcting the shortcomings of each. 😉

Do I need to correct any of this, LORD?

Wholehearted worship
anger
disputing
dressing modestly?
