Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
(1 Peter 2:10)

You blessed Your people, Jesus!

But You didn’t bless them
just to be blessing them.

You blessed them
to be a blessing.

May I never forget:

Every blessing I receive from You
creates an opportunity to be Your blessing
to somebody else!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood…”
(1 Peter 2:9)

It’s awesome to hear this, Jesus!

But it’s also hard to hear.

I don’t feel worthy.
Why would You choose the likes of me?

I don’t feel like royalty.
When I look in the mirror, I see a commoner.

Who am I to function as a priest?
I’ve got my hands full with my sinning self.

But praise Your holy Name!

I don’t have to feel it
for it to be 100% true.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
(1 Peter 2:5)

What are “spiritual sacrifices,” Jesus?

They have to be something I do – or don’t do –

with my own spirit.

What does my spirit want that isn’t best for my relationship with You?

I’ll give that up.

What does my spirit not want to do, that You desire?

That…I will do.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites, collect five shekels for each one…Give the money…to Aaron and his sons.”
(Numbers 3:46-48)

So, Jesus –

each family had to buy back from You every firstborn
or that child would enter Your full-time service –

a practice that helped fund the priesthood.

Regardless of what I do for a living today or in the future

I don’t want to be bought back.
I want to belong full-time to You!

Pray this Lazaroo, thirsting for God’s wisdom:

“…from his mouth men should seek instruction…”
(Malachi 2:7)

This Bible passage could be referring to You, Jesus

but it isn’t.

It’s referring to the office of priest.

You’re saying people should be able to go to the priest
and learn something important.

Of course, that important truth originates with You

but You expect the priest to be the one who conveys it.

Now that You’ve come, died and risen

all of Your followers have that responsibility

including me.
