Pray this Lazaroo in thudding realization:

“’I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.’ To the woman he said, ‘I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.’”
(Genesis 3:15-16)

First You punished the serpent, Jesus

then You punished the woman.

The man’s next, isn’t He?

For deliberate sin

there’s a price.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God ‘will repay each person according to what they have done.’”
(Romans 2:5-6)

So, Jesus…

people who appear to be getting away scot-free

are just piling up their punishment
higher and higher.

If I’m to be repaid according to what I’ve done

I’d better get busy
doing a whole lot of good!

Pray this Lazaroo with a pure, humble heart:

“…you flood the LORD’s altar with tears.”
(Malachi 2:13)

There are tears, Jesus…

and then there are tears.

There are those who cry because they’re angry

or because of what they’ve lost.

Some are able to manufacture fake tears

in order to manipulate the tenderhearted and gullible.

Others sob in their punishment because they’ve been caught –

not because they’re sorry they did it.

But when I flood Your altar with tears

may it be in sincere, heartfelt repentance.

Pray this Lazaroo with antennae up:

(2 Peter 2:5)

I think I can see where this is going, Jesus.

You’re pointing out the punishment
You were forced to mete out years ago

to remind me that You’re the same
yesterday, today and forever.

Yes, You’re slow to anger.

But if I mistake Your loving patience for weakness

I will discover to my sorrow
that my sins will find me out.

Cling to God’s promises, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Before them…the sky trembles.”
(Joel 2:10)

Those are some fearsome creatures You created, Jesus!

Punishment You inflicted on Your own people –
a terrifying swarm of supernatural locusts.

No wonder the very sky trembled!

But if I tremble before You –

terrified to sin against Your greatness, majesty, love and wisdom –

I’ll never have to tremble because of Your punishment.

Sadly, I’ve failed at that in the past

and experienced Your loving discipline…

which steered me all the way back

to You.

Get your priorities straight as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain…”
(Habakkuk 2:9)

I catch myself wanting to get ahead, Jesus.

But You make it clear:

If I cheat to do so
I’ll end up behind.

Worse yet, there’s the punishment

that accompanies the transgression.

Why would I break Your rules in an attempt to succeed on this earth?

What happens on this planet is only the preseason.
It doesn’t matter whether I win or lose here.

My reward
is in Heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with a willing heart:

“Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the LORD their God…”
(Hosea 3:5)

Sometimes You have to run me through the ringer, Jesus

to get my obedient attention.

I don’t like to admit that.

I wish it wasn’t true about me.

I much prefer to think like You want me to

say what You want me to

do what You want me to

…without needing negative reinforcement.

Come to think of it…

that’s absolutely what You long for, too.

Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They are…arrogant…”
(Romans 1:29-30)

Arrogance is pretty hard to stomach, Jesus.

When I see it, I cringe.

Sadly, it almost always shows up in those You’ve blessed!

Instead of realizing their gifts, skills and triumphs are from You
they believe it’s all because of them.

They think it’s due to their hard work, their brilliance
their superiority over others

which sets them up for Your inevitable punishment

and their disgrace.

May I never, ever – ever!

follow in their footsteps.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobriety of mind:

“So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people…”
(Malachi 2:9)

To be despised – if it’s only by one or two people –

is painful, Jesus.

To be humiliated with somebody watching

is awful.

But to be despised and humiliated before everybody?

Family, friends, total strangers?
Pretty close to unbearable.

What would cause You to do something like that to a person?

Maybe because they’ve tried to make everyone they know
despise and humiliate You.

Pray this Lazaroo with recognition:

“I struck all the work of your hands with…hail…”
(Haggai 2:17)

Discipline like that ought to be obvious, Jesus

unless the person You’re correcting
doesn’t believe in You –

or doesn’t believe You’re willing to use extreme measures
to turn around someone You truly care about.

They might chalk up the hailstorm to “natural causes”

ignoring the fact that every so-called “natural cause” out there
comes from Your hand.

I know better, LORD!

Now I need to act like it.
