Accept the honor, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good…”
(Titus 2:6-7)

I can’t just tell them how to behave, can I, Jesus?

I’ve got to show them what it looks like.

Of course, it’s a whole lot easier to point the way
than to lead the way.

But that’s only fair.

Because it’s a lot harder for them to follow my advice
than to nod with an indulgent smile
pretending to agree.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest respect:

“…Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?’ Jesus replied, ‘Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then John consented.”
(Matthew 3:13-15)

This is absolutely beautiful, Jesus.

For You to lower Yourself, doing what You didn’t have to do
to set a righteous example for me?

That makes me want to choose You
all over again.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Eli’s sons were wicked men…”
(1 Samuel 2:12)

That’s every parent’s nightmare, Jesus!

Well…perhaps not every parent.
There may be evil parents who want evil children.

But even those parents
don’t want their children to be evil to them.

You haven’t given us control over our children.

If You had, our parents could have controlled us.

At best, parents have only example and influence.

But please, God! Hear the brokenhearted parent’s prayer:

Rescue and restore the children who stray.

Step up to the plate as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…on behalf of the Israelites.”
(Numbers 3:38)

Anything I do “on behalf” of someone else can be nerve-racking, Jesus!

It’s not just about me.
It’s about them.

To think that what I do on their behalf affects them – negatively or positively –

creates a lot of pressure.

I’m tempted to avoid the stress and reject such duties

until I realize that’s impossible.
Everything I do affects somebody else.

As Your follower, I’m always setting an example

for good
or harm.

Determine to set an example, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Jedaiah son of Harumaph made repairs opposite his house, and Hattush son of Hashabneiah made repairs next to him.”
(Nehemiah 3:10)

I love that Jedaiah repaired the wall opposite his house, Jesus!

So many people are interested solely in their own houses.
But You expanded his vision.

The example he set inspired Hattush to start making repairs, too.

Oh, the power of a good, strong example!

That’s how Your walls get built

so Satan’s walls can be torn down.
