Pray this Lazaroo with unwavering trust:

“…as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap. So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them.”
(Joshua 3:13-14)

It’s that first step of obedience, isn’t it, Jesus!

It’s hard – especially when it’s counterintuitive

politically incorrect.

But if by faith I take that step

amazing things will happen!

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience…”
(2 John 1:6)

Contrary to popular opinion, Jesus

love isn’t a feeling.

Feelings are deceptive.

Sometimes I feel good when I should feel bad.
Sometimes I feel bad when I should feel good.

Feelings are about me.

Obedience is about You –

and those around me
who can’t feel what I feel

but who know they’re loved
when they see the evidence.

Feelings come and go.

Love stays.
Because love obeys.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep thought:

“We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature…”
(1 Corinthians 2:6)

Interesting, Jesus.

All people need wisdom.
The immature as well as the mature.

But there’s a lot of wisdom that the immature can’t handle.

Wisdom isn’t bound by illusion.
The immature, however, find it hard to give theirs up.

Wisdom isn’t guided by political correctness.
The immature are unduly influenced by the crowd.

Am I ready to embrace Your wisdom, Father?

Please.
Grow me up.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit sensitivity:

“Whose young woman is that?”
(Ruth 2:5)

It would be hard to ask a more politically incorrect question, Jesus.

Thankfully, we don’t talk that way anymore.

But there’s a lesson here, isn’t there?

For the time in which he lived, Boaz wasn’t speaking disrespectfully.
Just the opposite – he greatly respected Ruth!

How many times have I unfairly judged someone’s words or actions

without knowledge of their background, culture or intent?

Forgive me, LORD!
Only You know the heart.
