Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“He has raised up a horn of salvation for us…to remember his holy covenant, the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.”
(Luke 1:69, 73-75)

You keep Your promises, Jesus –

not just some of the time –

everytime.

which means –

though you have not yet kept Your greatest promises –

You most certainly will.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intent:

“My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.”
(Proverbs 3:21-23)

Those are amazing promises, Jesus!

But it’s not generic wisdom You’re talking about, is it?

It’s Your wisdom
Your understanding

Gained by saturating my life in Your Word

followed by wholehearted obedience.

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 unrestrained allegiance:

“I will give him…the land he set his feet on…”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

That’s quite a promise, Jesus.

Of course, Caleb deserved it.

When 10 of the 12 men Moses sent to spy out Canaan returned

only he and Joshua believed You would keep Your promise
and enable the Israelites to take it.

I’m no Caleb, Father.

But with all my heart
I believe You will keep Your promises to me!

Please.

Give me the land You’ve reserved for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…’you have violated the covenant with Levi,’ says the LORD Almighty.”
(Malachi 2:8)

You promised amazing things to your servant Levi, Jesus

and to his sons and grandsons who followed him.

But You also gave the Tribe of Levi some dos and don’ts.

Sadly, the day came when they did the don’ts
and omitted the dos.

You’ve promised even more amazing things to me

than those You promised to Levi
but still, within covenant.

Help me honor Your terms!

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Those who cling to worthless idols…”
(Jonah 2:8)

But why would anyone do that, Jesus?

It’s because of their temporary pleasures, isn’t it?

Emphasis on the temporary
‘cause they sure don’t last.

Too, it’s because of their false promises, isn’t it?

They can’t deliver on their boasts.
There’s always a deadly twist.

Not so with You, Father!

The pleasure of following faithfully after You
grows with each passing year

while You keep and surpass
every one of Your promises.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…who has…ignored the covenant she made before God.”
(Proverbs 2:17)

A covenant with You is one I’d better never break, Jesus –

whether it’s one I made when standing before a preacher
one I swore before a judge as I lifted my right hand
or one I made while dug into a foxhole, bartering for my life.

But the thing is…

every promise I make is before You!

You hear every word I speak

and hold me accountable.
