“But the eye of their God was watching over the elders of the Jews, and they were not stopped until a report could go to Darius and his written reply be received.”
(Ezra 5:5)

May Your Eye keep watching over me, Jesus!

Keep me working, serving!
Perform Your wonders!

May I never let Satan’s threats deter me from Your mission.

Yes, he has power
but You have all power!

Greater are You in me

than the doomed one who terrorizes the world.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“‘…the report…spreading among the…people is not good. If one person sins against another, God may mediate for the offender; but if anyone sins against the Lord, who will intercede for them?’ His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke, for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death.”
(1 Samuel 2:24-25)

Eli tried to correct his sons, Jesus…

but You knew their hearts were wicked to the core.
No amount of talk was going to deter them.

That…explains a lot.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…when the report…was found to be true…”
(Esther 2:23)

First I have to check it out, don’t I, Jesus?

If I don’t personally know and trust the source
I can’t take for granted that everything I hear is true.

But what if I investigate it and find out this juicy tidbit is a fact?

What then?

Do I just mindlessly go about blathering it all over creation?

I can’t do that either, can I?

Some things shouldn’t be repeated.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…when the report was investigated…”
(Esther 2:23)

How many times have I heard and repeated a story

without first investigating it, Jesus?

Worse yet –

how many times have I acted on that uninvestigated story?

Why would I do that?

Was it because I wanted it to be true?
Or maybe checking out the story seemed too complicated.

But if the story was about me…

wouldn’t I want the person who heard it to first check it out

before passing it on?

Pray this Lazaroo with a determination to follow:

“Queen Esther…reported it to the king…”
(Esther 2:22)

What do I do when I hear something of huge importance, Jesus?

Do I keep it to myself?

In the case of gossip or sworn secrecy
sometimes I should.

But what about those times when the nature of what I’ve learned must not remain a secret –

at least not to the people who need to know it?

Oh, how I need Your guidance!
Lead me, LORD!

I know You will.
