Pray this Lazaroo in grateful recognition:

“He paneled the main hall with pine and covered it with fine gold…”
(2 Chronicles 3:5)

This was for Your temple, Jesus.

As I picture that golden hallway…

wow!

But right now I’m thinking about the pine.

That’s what went up first.
That’s what held up the gold.

First comes the pine

then the gold.

If there’s no pine

there’s no gold.

Which season am I in, LORD?

Pine or gold?

Please remind me:

Both have equal value.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…before the appointed time arrives…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

Thanks for the reminder, Jesus –

there is an appointed time.

I’m not some pebble haphazardly bumping down the mountainside.

I have appointments

set by You

that I cannot break.

Nor do I want to!

They’re key milestones along my path.

Get me ready me for them!

Especially for that final appointment on this earth

the one with death

that will usher me into an eternity of new, awesome appointments

forever with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They will occupy the fields of…Samaria…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

For years Your people refused to enter Samaria, Jesus –

home of those who intermarried with non-Jews
who mixed worship of You with worship of false gods.

But You loved them, ministered to them, won them to Yourself!

How often You draw closer to the outcast
than to the proud and haughty!

Remind me not to seek acceptance by the in-crowd, Holy Spirit

but to search for those

who are searching for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…you must not be a prostitute…”
(Hosea 3:3)

Well, duh, Jesus.

That’s kind of a standing rule, isn’t it?

Why would Hosea say this to his wife?

It was because You told him to take her back, wasn’t it?
Even though she’d been unfaithful to him.

Broken laws need to be restated.

Am I in violation of any of Your commands, LORD?
If so, please tell me again

and in Your great mercy
give me another chance to obey.
