Monday, December 5, 2022

 

Pray this Lazaroo with soul-satisfying confidence:

“The land by the sea…will belong to the remnant of the people of Judah; there they will find pasture.”
(Zephaniah 2:6-7)

This was no small promise, Jesus.

If Your people were shepherding 100,000 sheep
they needed 10,000 acres of pasture!

You’ve promised to provide for my needs, too.

I can rest assured:

You know exactly what I need
when I need it.

When You enable me to get where I’m going

there it will be

waiting for me.

Be comforted! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed! The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.”
(Habakkuk 2:16)

This is Your promise, Jesus:

The day is coming

when You will repay every unrepentant, evil person
for the devastation they have caused!

When I see one of them getting away with it

please remind me:

They aren’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with fear and trembling:

“May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised him on oath and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba.”
(2 Samuel 3:9-10)

If Abner knew all of that, Jesus

then why didn’t he do it to begin with?
A lot of people died because he didn’t.

How many will suffer because I don’t do

what I already know I should?

Pray this Lazaroo in simple trust:

“…perhaps you will be sheltered…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

As promises go, Jesus

this one leaves more than a little to be desired!

I like the definite promises that begin with words like, “You will!”

Those that begin with the word, “perhaps” scare me.

What if I do everything You command

but don’t get what I want?

Oh.

You’re teaching me humility, aren’t You?
You’re also teaching me obedience for its own reward

while leaving the results
in Your loving hands.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“If we endure, we will also reign with him.”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

I’m so thankful for that promise, Jesus!

You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I won.
You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I overcame.
You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I knocked it out of the park.

You said all I’d have to do to reign with You

is endure.

Why am I grateful?

Because some days
that’s all I can do.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-inspired anticipation:

“On the first day…”
(Jonah 3:4)

First days are momentous, Jesus!

They’re full of excitement, promise, hope, new beginnings.

Sometimes.

Of course, I can also dread a first day.

It may represent the unknown.
It may remind me that this is only one step in a very long journey.

But ultimately, I have to keep undertaking first days, don’t I?

If I don’t begin, I’ll never finish.

But I beg You:

Don’t let me begin anything outside of Your will!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
(Revelation 2:10)

I know Your promise is true, Jesus!

It motivates me.

But knowing that being faithful to You might lead me to be tortured to death

puts a damper on my enthusiasm.

That may not be the path You’ve chosen for me

but why not?
Countless millions of Your followers have been martyrs.

So if it is…

help me remain faithful.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…you surround [the righteous] with your favor as with a shield.”
(Psalms 5:12)

What a promise, Jesus! What incredible assurance!

If only I were righteous.

I don’t have to tell You: I’m a sinner.

You’re the one who’s righteous.
I’m the one who’s not.

Except…

because I put all my faith and trust and hope in You
and because You’ve forgiven every sin I’ve ever committed…

am I now standing –

not in my own righteousness –

but in Yours?

Oh, hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo in mind-blown gratitude:

“…everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
(Acts 2:21)

Is there any greater promise, Jesus?

I don’t think so.

It’s no surprise that the best of the best get to go to heaven.

But that word “everyone”
includes the likes of sloppy, mistaken-ridden
totally undeserving

me.

No, this promise doesn’t apply if I call on You insincerely.

I’ve got to call on You wholeheartedly
repeatedly giving You everything I’ve got

while still falling short.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
(Luke 1:45)

You always fulfill Your promises, Jesus –

but in Your way and time.

When my schedule conflicts with Yours

I’m tempted to think it’s never going to happen.

When my way of doing it blinds me to Your superior plan

I can totally miss what You’re up to.

O God!

Help me rest in the certainty of Your promises
with eyes that see.
