Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes and bowls, and the jars for drink offerings; the bread that is continually there is to remain on it. They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover that with the durable leather and put the poles in place.”
(Numbers 4:7-8)

I have to wonder about that scarlet cloth, Jesus.

Did it stand for the blood You would one day shed

to cover my sins?

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“All this was recorded in the book of the annals…”
(Esther 2:23)

We have our records, Jesus

and You have Yours.

You record every good thought, word and action.

We have nothing close to that.

But some of the things recorded in our books are missing from Yours:

Every sinful thought, word or action I’ve committed

is gone, gone, gone, gone, GONE!

Paid in full by Your blood shed on the cross for me

eradicated from my relationship with You

forever.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…she tied the scarlet cord in the window.”
(Joshua 2:21)

And by that scarlet cord, Jesus

Rahab the prostitute saved hers and her family’s lives
when Joshua destroyed the city of Jericho.

I’m thinking of another scarlet cord, Father –

the blood of Your Son, shed on the cross
paying for the sins of all who believe.

Even less deserving than Rahab

I’m tying that scarlet cord in my window
for You to see when You come for Your own!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…unless…you have tied this scarlet cord in the window…”
(Joshua 2:18)

Rahab knew the one thing that would save her and her family, Jesus –

that scarlet cord
tied in the window.

Throughout the days before Israel returned to attack her city

I’ll bet she guarded that scarlet cord with her life

just as I do the scarlet cord that will save me on Your return:

Your blood shed on the cross

the only sacrifice that forever erases
all my sins.
