Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.”
(1 Peter 2:18-19)

This command can’t have gone over well with slaves, Jesus.

In fact, there are a lot of Your commands
that require me to do what I don’t feel like doing.

No matter.

If you order it, there’s only one acceptable response:

YES, SIR!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered…”
(Hebrews 5:7-8)

In spite of Your sinless perfection, Jesus

if the suffering You endured was necessary for you to learn obedience

who am I to think I’m going to learn obedience

without suffering?

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.”
(Hebrews 5:7)

The whole time You were here, Jesus

You knew why You’d come.

Even so, You begged to be delivered from death.

As He sometimes says to me
Your Father said, “no.”

But to our resurrection from the dead

He says, “Yes!”

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“…reverent in the way they live…”
(Titus 2:3)

It’s good for me to be reverent on the inside, Jesus

to mean well
have good intentions.

But it can’t stop there, can it?

I’ve got to follow through.

What’s in my heart

has to show on the outside.

Nobody but You is able to see what I meant to say or do.

They’re stuck with what I actually said and did.

As far as they’re concerned?

That’s all that matters.

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

“…teach the older women to be reverent…”
(Titus 2:3)

Why do older women need to be taught reverence, Jesus?

You’d think they’d know all about it.
And of course, they do.

But maybe that’s the problem.

The attitude of been there, done that.

Bring back to me the devoted reverence of my earliest days in You!

May I never take anything about You for granted.

Keep me fresh.
Heighten my awe.

May I never be lacking

in deepest reverence.
