Pray this Lazaroo from a tender heart:

“turn, my lover…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

Solomon’s bride wants him to turn toward her and love her, Jesus

just as You call us to turn away
from those things that distract us from loving You.

How can I show You my love today?

Certainly, what I’m doing right now, is one way.
So is reading, studying, obeying Your Word in my life.

But it also includes helping others
and sharing Your good news of salvation with the lost.

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid confidence:

“The LORD said to Moses…”
(Numbers 3:40)

I know You talked to Moses, Jesus, which is why we have –

Genesis…Exodus…Leviticus…Numbers…Deuteronomy…
Psalms 90…maybe the book of Job.

You gave Your Word to us through at least 40 different people

over approximately 4,228 years.

When I read the Bible, I’m not reading some person’s made-up ideas.

I’m reading Your Words to me.

That’s why my heart burns within me

when I read, hear and understand Your Word!

…my life forever changed.

Pray this Lazaroo, sobered:

“I write to you, fathers…”
(1 John 2:13)

Thank You, Jesus!

because the fathers of our day
need a good writing-to.

Of course, You’ve already written.

But are fathers reading what You’ve given them?
Are they taking it to heart, obeying it?

Some are.

Some are rejecting the Bible entirely.

Others, deluded, are picking and choosing which parts they like

discarding the rest

as though Your Word was a buffet line
where desserts can be eaten

the meat ignored.
