Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
(2 Kings 3:11)

Humble beginnings, Jesus.

Elisha started out as a servant to the great prophet Elijah
a step-and-fetch-it, a do-whatever-I’m-told.

He remained in that role until You called his master home.

And then he demonstrated that he had been paying attention:
He asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit.

Wow. Where did that come from?

And You granted his request!

You really love to reward the humble.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble awareness:

“He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold…”
(2 Chronicles 3:7)

Well…not exactly, Jesus.

Solomon ordered the work done.
It wouldn’t have happened without him.

But he didn’t personally overlay anything.
It was the workers who performed that golden task.

Leaders are essential…

…but so are workers.

Neither can succeed without the other.

Sometimes I’m the leader
sometimes I’m a worker.

But in whichever role I serve You

remind me to respect the other.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…she won his favor and approval…”
(Esther 2:17)

There’s no doubt about it, Jesus –

Esther was beautiful.
Beautiful people win favor and approval more easily than others.

But that’s not why this king was so attracted to her.

You made it happen.

You positioned her in the crucially important role

You designed her to carry out.

If I’m obedient, You’ll grant me the favor and approval I need

to carry out every task and role You’ve designed for me.
