Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Ask the former generation and find out what their ancestors learned, for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow. Will they not instruct you and tell you? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?”
(Job 8:8-10)

What refreshing, humble words of wisdom, Jesus!

May I never be counted among the proud
who regard older saints with disdain

as though modern times
make their counsel irrelevant!

Technology changes.
People don’t.

The hard-won experience of the aged

is priceless.

Pray this Lazaroo in head-shaking amazement:

Why have I found such favor in your eyes…?”
(Ruth 2:10)

How refreshing is that, Jesus?

In this day of people pounding their chests, swaggering –

I’m so used to hearing:

“It’s about time!”
“I’m the best there is!”
“Check me out!”

But here’s Ruth, so unassuming

that when someone does something nice for her
she’s stunned, not comprehending –

the exact opposite of an attitude of entitlement.

No wonder You selected her to become

one of Your many-times-removed great grandmothers.

Thirst for God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…get a drink from the water jars…”
(Ruth 2:9)

There are a lot of places to get a drink, Jesus.

One would be from a water jar.

But I could also get a drink from

a well
a water fountain
a bottle
a bubbling brook
a juice bar
a soft drink can or bottle
a coffee or tea cup
a canteen.

But the best place to take a long, refreshing drink

is from the Living Water of Your Word.
