Pray this Lazaroo in sober reflection:

“Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.”
(James 3:1)

There’s a simple reason for this, isn’t there, Jesus?

Those to whom You give the holy honor of teaching Your Word

owe You and those they teach

the privilege of seeing someone
who practices what they teach.

True, no teacher will ever do everything perfectly

but that had blessed well be their daily goal.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted adoration:

“…to the church that meets in your home…”
(Philemon 1:2)

That’s how it started, isn’t it, Jesus?

In addition to gathering in the temple courts

small groups of Your people
met together in one another’s homes.

There they ate together
studied Your Word together
prayed together.

Certainly, we have awesome electronic tools at our disposal

to facilitate those two ways of meeting as Your Church.

But can we possibly improve on that simple plan today?

No.
We can’t.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“And so you stayed in Kadesh many days – all the time you spent there. Then we turned back and set out toward the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea, as the Lord had directed me. For a long time we made our way around the hill country of Seir.”
(Deuteronomy 1:46-2:1)

Wherever You lead, LORD

whenever You say.

I’m sticking with You

no matter how long it takes.

My life-goal is simple:

Stay in lock-step with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“…the word of the LORD is against you…”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

Could there be any more chilling words, Jesus?

May they never be said about me.

But the question is, “How can I prevent that?

Actually, it’s simple, isn’t it?

If I learn and obey Your Word with all my heart
Your Word will always be for me –
never against me.

But that’s not just a concept, is it?

It’s a way of life.

The way of life.

My way of life.

Pray this Lazaroo with holy boldness:

“Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, ‘Why do you disobey the king’s command?’”
(Esther 3:3)

The answer was simple, Jesus:

Haman was a wicked man who did not deserve to be honored.

But that wasn’t even the biggest reason.

Mordecai wasn’t about to bow down to anyone but You.
The fact that it was the king who ordered it was irrelevant

even though it might cost Mordecai his life.

May that kind of holy courage be mine!

Pray this Lazaroo in sensitive awareness:

“‘I have one small request to make of you,’ she said.”
(1 Kings 2:20)

Bathsheba is right, Jesus.

The request she is about to make of her son Solomon is small.
With a word, he can easily grant it.

There’s only one problem:

If he does what his mother is asking
the consequences will be catastrophic.

What a reminder!

Just because a thing is easy to do

doesn’t make it right
doesn’t mean You want me to do it.
