Pray this Lazaroo with an eager to obey heart:

“Joshua and all the Israelites…went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over.”
(Joshua 3:1)

There are many reasons to camp before crossing over, Jesus.

Some of them good.

Others…not so much.

Sometimes it’s being afraid of the crossing
or fear of what’s on the other side.

At other times it’s procrastination
or a preference for the known, over the unknown.

But may I never hesitate to cross any river in my path

to go where You send me!

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed resolve:

“As you have heard…”
(2 John 1:6)

Why do I cringe when I hear those words, Jesus?

Probably because I realize
I’m about to be reminded.

Usually, the reason I’m being reminded

is I didn’t pay attention the first time.

Of course, I may have paid attention the first time

and didn’t want to do it

or had something else going on
I wanted to finish first.

Or maybe I just procrastinated.

Wow.

All that sounds pretty lame.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…the way of obedience to the LORD’s commands.”
(Judges 2:17)

Your “way of obedience,” Jesus?

Let me take a stab at it:

You expect me to obey You fully.
None of this “I did some of it” stuff.

You expect me to obey You without excuse.
None of this, “I couldn’t do it because…” malarkey.

You expect me to obey You immediately.
None of this, “When I get around to it” procrastination business.

So…is that pretty close? 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…from this day on…”
(Haggai 2:15)

That’s all I can do, Jesus –

“from this day on.”

Although I can learn from it

I can’t change the past

Although I can anticipate it

I can’t jump ahead to tomorrow.

Not yet.

If anything is going to change it has to start

with this day.

It’s tempting to put it off till tomorrow.

But if I do, this day
becomes that day

otherwise known as procrastination

because that day
seldom comes.
