Pray this Lazaroo in tearful trust:

“So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down, leaving no survivors. At that time we took all his cities. There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom in Bashan.”
(Deuteronomy 3:3-4)

The Promised Land wasn’t empty, Jesus.

Multiplied thousands of wicked people lived there

and had to be eliminated.

Not our decision.

Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo to the God who can!

“…Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. He said to the Israelites, ‘In the future when your descendants ask their parents, “What do these stones mean?” tell them, “Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.”’”
(Joshua 4:20-22)

You parted the Red Sea for Moses, Jesus.

You parted the waters of the Jordan for Joshua
as Israel entered the promised land.

You know the waters I have to cross, LORD.

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo with unswerving holy intent:

“Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

You gave the entire promised land to the descendants of Jacob, Jesus

even though Esau was the firstborn
the one traditionally in line to receive the inheritance.

But Esau had no heart for You

didn’t value what You value.

So he lost his chance

leaving the descendants of his younger brother
to rule over the whole land.

O God!

May what I value
perfectly align with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…turn around and set out toward the desert…”
(Deuteronomy 1:40)

That was a hard instruction to hear, Jesus.

Your people had been headed toward the Promised Land.
But their spies convinced the majority they couldn’t succeed.

So You told them to do an about face
and head back into the desert.

I, too, have encountered a few of Your instructions that are hard to hear.

But O God! Hard or no –

may there be none I’m unwilling to obey.

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into…a land flowing with milk and honey.”
(Exodus 3:17)

You kept Your promise, Jesus!

You always do.

Of course, there were a lot of tests, trials and battles

between the time Your people left and the time they arrived – 

as there almost always is.

Because of their repeated disobedience

many of them didn’t get to experience that milk and honey.

Help me learn from their mistakes!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“I will give it to them…”
(Jeremiah 1:39)

You promised to give Your people the land of Canaan, Jesus.

You were as good as Your Word.

Of course, it was the children of those who left Egypt who got to enter the Promised Land.

Those who rebelled against You in the desert missed it.

Out of the two million or so adults who began that journey

exactly two completed it.

I beg You:
Finish what You started in me!

Pray this Lazaroo buttressed by faith:

“This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

That’s wild, Jesus.

They were exiles in the very land You had promised them.

Everybody looked at them like outsiders, intruders

not knowing they were looking down on people
to whom they would one day look up

not realizing these trespassers
would one day become the land’s owners.

I can identify.

Today I walk this land as a foreigner

but my Dad owns it all
and I’m Your heir.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable obedience:

“…you shall not enter it…”
(Deuteronomy 1:37)

What a devastating thing to hear, Jesus!

Moses took his life in his hands to return to Egypt
in order to lead Your people to the Promised Land.

When the people sinned at its border
he had to endure 40 years of trials in the desert.

Then it was time to go in.
Without Moses.

Because he broke faith with You.

What’s my promised land on this earth, Father?

Help me be faithful!

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They will occupy the fields of Ephraim…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

Ephraim was Joseph’s second son, Jesus.

When Jacob blessed his two grandsons
he put Ephraim ahead of his older brother Manasseh.

His descendants became one of Your 12 tribes of Israel.

But in the Promised Land
they failed to dislodge those worshipping idols
and became idol-worshippers themselves.

Who are those I need to dislodge from my life, Father?

before I follow their evil ways
and lose my fields to others?

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“These were the locations of their settlements allotted as their territory…”
(1 Chronicles 6:54)

The Israelites spread out all over this great land You promised them, Jesus

their territory determined by lot.

But of course, there was nothing accidental about where each tribe landed

because You control the lot.

What feels like “chance” to me

never gets by You.

If the lot isn’t going to fall the way You desire

You intervene.

You’re the non-absentee Landlord

of us all.
