Wednesday, December 6, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king.”
(Esther 4:11)

Esther had to plead with the king for the lives of her people, Jesus.

But to do so was to risk her own life.

Am I willing to risk my life

to save others?

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.”
(Ephesians 2:15-16)

You’re talking about Jews and Gentiles, Jesus

but this miraculous, peacemaking gift You give
has the power to erase animosity
between any two groups of people.

HALLELUJAH!

There are a couple of groups
I’d really like to see You unite!

Pray this Lazaroo in overcoming faith:

“Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death…”
(Revelation 2:13)

Oh, Jesus.

My first thought is, “Oh, no! Poor Antipas!”

But then I realize his death took him straight to heaven!

I can feel sorry for his friends and loved ones
but not for him.

My second thought is, “Oh, no! WHY Antipas?”

I mean, You Yourself said he was your “faithful witness.”

But then I envision the heavenly welcome he received

as Your faithful martyr.

Wow.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Adonijah shall be put to death today!”
(1 Kings 2:24)

He just couldn’t leave it alone, could he, Jesus?

Adonijah wanted to be king.
He was the son of David.

As far as he was concerned
Absalom’s death meant he was next in line.

There was just one problem with his plan:

You had chosen Solomon to be king.

The way I reason everything out has no bearing whatsoever, does it?

Your wise, all-knowing will is the only thing that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“And now, as surely as the LORD lives –”
(I Kings 2:24)

Those are strong words, Jesus.

Solomon was determined to put his brother Adonijah to death
that very day –

which he did.

But unless You’re the one who puts those words in my mouth

I don’t plan to ever speak them.

You live!

There is nothing more certain or more sacred
than that overriding, glorious, awe-inspiring truth.

My intentions – no matter how fervent –

will always pale in comparison.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Anyone else who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.”
(Numbers 3:38)

I don’t pretend to know every reason behind that command, Jesus.

But I can guess one of them:

You wanted Your people to regard You
with knee-trembling awe.

It’s hard for us to leave our sinful ways.

We need all the incentive we can get!

That rule is no longer in effect.

The sanctuary is long gone.

But I will forever approach You

in reverent awe.
