Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Elisha said, ‘As surely as the Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, if I did not have respect for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not pay any attention to you.’”
(2 Kings 3:14)

What a teaching, Jesus!

There really are people I should respect
people to whom I should pay attention

and people I’d be wise to ignore.

Yes, You command me to love everyone

but when it comes to my time and attention
to consider the source.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…listen carefully…”
(Ezekiel 3:9)

Why wouldn’t I listen carefully…

when it’s You speaking, Jesus?

Every word of Yours is flawless.

You alone have the words of eternal life!

You spoke the worlds into existence.

I exist because You spoke me into life.

So why do I sometimes only half-listen when Your Word

is taught
sung
preached?

How dare I?

You deserve greater respect than that.

I cannot survive

let alone thrive

without the sustaining power

of Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Here’s a good seat for you…”
(James 2:3)

There’s nothing wrong with offering somebody a good seat, Jesus

unless I’m doing so to favor the rich over the poor.

What is there in my makeup that causes me to automatically respect someone wearing fine clothes

and look down on someone dressed shabbily?

If I knew them as only You do

it’s possible that the poor person is the one who deserves my respect
and the rich one my contempt.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes…”
(James 2:3)

It’s hard not to, Jesus!

People who dress well catch the eye.
Often they’re educated, hardworking, interesting.

But You despise favoritism!

You made everyone I see.

When I fawn on one and ignore the other

I insult You.

Fact is, some of those able to dress to the nines

are shallow, self-centered, boorish.

I’d do well to treat everyone the same:

with love, consideration and respect.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…a poor man in shabby clothes…comes in.”
(James 2:2)

It’s a test, isn’t it, Jesus?

What’s my first thought?
What’s the expression on my face?
What do I say?
What do I do?

I don’t have to ask.

You want me to treat him with love, respect, dignity.

Don’t ever, ever, ever allow me to look down on anyone!

You made each and every soul I will ever see.
Help me think, feel, speak and act like it.

Pray this Lazaroo in wise faith:

“When Bathsheba went to King Solomon…the king…bowed down to her…”
(1 Kings 2:19)

I love the respect Solomon showed his mother, Jesus.

Of all his wise behaviors
this may have been his best.

I wonder…

did he know what his mother endured to be in this position?

Was he aware that King David killed her husband to hide the pregnancy he had caused

resulting in his older brother’s death?

O God!

Give me mad respect for those who’ve suffered.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest respect:

“When Bathsheba went to King Solomon…the king stood up to meet her…”
(1 Kings 2:19)

I love this, Jesus –

the respect Solomon showed his mother.

Typically, kings didn’t stand for anyone except another king.

But You’ve instructed us to honor our mothers and fathers
that our days may be long on this earth.

Solomon knew Your Word.
He was filled with Your wisdom.

So when his mother entered the room
he paid her the honor due her:

He stood.
