Pray this Lazaroo in Godly humility:

“…some of the priests took care of mixing the spices. A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with the responsibility for baking the offering bread. Some of the Kohathites, their fellow Levites, were in charge of preparing for every Sabbath the bread set out on the table.”
(1 Chronicles 9:30-32)

Are these tasks too mundane for a priest, Jesus?

Not at all!

No matter how small

whatever I do for You is holy and significant.

Pray this Lazaroo with limitless faith:

“…the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. She called her husband and said, ‘Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God quickly and return.’ ‘Why go to him today?’ he asked. ’“It’s not the New Moon or the Sabbath.’ ‘That’s all right,’ she said.”
(2 Kings 4:20, 22-23)

He didn’t get it, Jesus.

It didn’t occur to Him that You could raise the dead.

How many times have I underestimated Your Power?

Please: Help me get it!

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened awareness:

“…Jesus asked them, ‘Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?’ But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.”
(Mark 3:4-5)

That’s how You work nearly every miracle, Jesus –

in spite of our animosity, doubt and outright disbelief.

True, some miracles are granted to those who have faith

which comes directly from You

as a gift.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed devotion:

“…Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, ‘Stand up in front of everyone.’”
(Mark 3:1-3)

You didn’t hide the miracle You were about to perform, Jesus!

You stood against them boldly
in behalf of the hurting.

O God!

Rise up within me
as I do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?…he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat…The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath…So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
(Mark 2:25-28)

You’re the One who makes the rules, Jesus.

I’m not about to question You when You change them.

My job is real simple:

Obey.

Take a little comfort, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?’”
(Mark 2:23-24)

If they criticized Your followers then, Jesus…

why am I surprised –

while I’m faithfully walking with You –

when they criticize me?

Please don’t let their harsh words upset me.

After all, taking heat for You
is a badge of honor!

Pray this Lazaroo with inexpressible gratitude:

“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.”
(Hebrews 4:9-11)

I rest, Jesus –

from my futile work of attempting to earn my salvation.

I can’t – no matter how hard I try.

I confess that my faith in You –

Your death, burial and resurrection –

is my only hope for eternal life!

Take warning! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He has swallowed up all her palaces and destroyed her strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation for Daughter Judah. He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden; he has destroyed his place of meeting. The Lord has made Zion forget her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths; in his fierce anger he has spurned both king and priest.”
(Lamentations 2:5-6)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus.

But may I never persist in my sin

because I’m terrified to incur Your wrath!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…except for a short rest in the shelter.”
(Ruth 2:7)

I can’t work all the time, Jesus.

That’s not how You created me.

You made me in Your image

and You took a one-day-out-of-seven rest.

It’s instructive to note that Ruth took a short rest.

That’s all she – or I – need.

But it’s also important to remember

that she took advantage of a shelter
out from under the heat of the sun.

O God!

Will You be my Shelter?
