Wednesday, August 19, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…remember that at that time you were…without hope and without God in the world.”
(Ephesians 2:12)

It’s vital to remember that, Jesus!

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my problems
that I’m tempted to envy the lifestyles of unbelievers.

That’s when I most need to recall what it was like when I was in the same boat they’re in.

It was downright ugly!

I never want to return to the empty, hopeless existence

that is life without You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…remember that at that time you were…foreigners to the covenants of the promise…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

I love the way You put this, Jesus

because through it, You’re teaching me so much!

“…at that time” means:

It’s no longer the case!

I’m no longer a foreigner to Your covenants of the promise!

“remember” means:

It’s vital that I always remember
where I’ve come from
and how far You’ve brought me.

I – once an undeserving outsider –

am now part of Your Forever Family.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…remember that at that time you were separate from Christ…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

I don’t like to remember that time, Jesus.

It’s too painful.

But clearly, You want me to remember it!

Why?

Is it so I’ll be grateful for my connection with You now?

I am. I truly am.

Especially remembering what it was like to not have

Your indwelling Presence
the intimacy of our ongoing conversation throughout the day

the sweet assurance of my salvation in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…on the throne of my father David…”
(1 Kings 2:24)

Wow. For Solomon to be able to say that, Jesus…

Pretty special.
Pretty exclusive.

But about the time I start feeling like a commoner –

like an outsider looking in…

I remember Your promise:

If I stick with You all the way to the end
I will be invited to sit with You on Your throne!

I will reign with You forever!

Thank You.
That’s all the motivation I need!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who makes it count:

“I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

An emotion that strong seldom happens early in life, Jesus.

It takes years of putting all a person’s energy
into first this thing, then that

to discover how much of it doesn’t amount to

a pile of rotting leaves.

O God! May that not be my fate!

Teach me to remember:

Only one life will soon be past.
Only what’s done for You will last.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Therefore, remember…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

Every day of my life You’re teaching me, Holy Spirit.

Every day of my life You’re guiding me, Father –

through the things that make life sweet
through the challenges that make life hard
through the daily grind that makes up most of life.

I don’t want You to have to repeat Yourself over and over again.

I want to squeeze every ounce of lesson
You pack into every moment of my life, Jesus

and never forget.

Sober up, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“May God deal with me…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

Oh, Jesus.

We human beings don’t pay nearly enough attention to our words, do we?

King Solomon was about to pronounce the death sentence upon his brother.

In fact, he was so angry at his brother at that moment
that he declared his intent with an oath.

But before I follow Solomon’s example, it might be good for me to remember:

If I ask You to deal with me

You will.

Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Remember Jesus Christ…”
(2 Timothy 2:8)

Seems like an unnecessary reminder, Jesus.

Who could forget You?

But on second thought…

I do.

Oh, not in the sense that I don’t remember who You are.

But in my head-long rush to do what I want to do
how often do I forget to first check in –
to see what You want me to do?

Of course, that oversight results in me begging you afterwards

to fix what I messed up.

Pray this Lazaroo with redoubled intent:

“Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God…”
(Romans 1:28)

That’s huge, isn’t it, Jesus?

not only to hear about You
but to remember it.

How many times have I heard messages, read books, participated in Bible studies that truly impressed me and were potentially life-changing

only to look back months or years later
and not be able to recall a single thing I learned?

In fact, is it learning…

if there’s no doing?
