Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Joshua told the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.’ Joshua said to the priests, ‘Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.’ So they took it up and went ahead of them.”
(Joshua 3:5-6)

These two commands are not unrelated, Jesus.

As I consecrate myself

I need the life-changing wisdom, comfort and power

of Your holy Word to go before me

every step of the way.

Ask God to do it again, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the person who was sacrificing, ‘Give the priest some meat to roast; he won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.’”
(1 Samuel 2:15)

That was in blatant disregard to Your command, Jesus!

The people knew it…but they couldn’t do anything about it.

So You removed those who were abusing their power

and replaced them with Samuel
who obeyed You with all his heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…whenever any of the people offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand while the meat was being boiled and would plunge the fork into the pan or kettle or caldron or pot. Whatever the fork brought up the priest would take for himself.”
(1 Samuel 2:12-14)

What a detestable abuse of power, Jesus!

You judged and punished Samuel’s sons

and you will surely judge and punish those
who abuse their power today!

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple, wept aloud…
(Ezra 3:12)

Everybody else was shouting with excitement and praise, Jesus.

Why not the older ones, too?

Because it reminded them of what they had lost.

Theirs were tears of remembrance –

the good times they had experienced
having no temple all this time.

I too have wept over what I’ve lost…

but believe I’ll weep again – in grateful joy.

Thursday, June 11, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo in clear-headed obedience:

“…it was the practice of the priests…”
(1 Samuel 2:13)

Just because it’s a priest who does it

doesn’t make it right, Jesus.

The same goes for pastors, mothers, fathers, popes and presidents.

Honored position doesn’t insure righteous behavior.

In this case, the priests under Eli were engaging in detestable behavior.

Open my eyes, LORD!
Please don’t let me be blinded by position!

Show me how to wisely deal with such leaders

and never follow in their evil footsteps.

Pray this Lazaroo with righteous hunger:

“My priests and my elders perished in the city while they searched for food…”
(Lamentations 1:19)

That’s about as desperate as it gets, Jesus.

There’s always food to be found in the city

especially when you’re somebody important
like a priest or an elder

unless the city itself has no food.

They didn’t just go hungry.

They starved to death.

There’s more than one way to die of hunger, isn’t there?

when there’s a famine
of hearing Your Word.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge…”
(Malachi 2:7)

I’m no priest, Jesus

but that goes for me, too.

When You teach me something I need to share it.

When people twist or pervert Your Word
I’ve got to do what I can to set the record straight.

Wait a minute…

I am a priest!

I had almost forgotten that You promote everyone to that holy office

who places their trust and hope
solely in You.

Be inspired to greatness as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…nothing false was found on his lips.”
(Malachi 2:6)

High praise, Jesus.

In fact, behavior supposedly that amazing is almost always overstated
unless – as in this case – the declaration comes from You.

Which means Levi was quite a guy.

It’s tough to pull off flawless honesty in public

nearly impossible to maintain it in private.

But You saw him 24/7

at his worst, at his best
and watched him pass every test.

Make me another Levi, LORD!

Starting now.
