Sunday, March 29, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…they will take possession of it.”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

This was a brutally hard thing for Your people to hear, Jesus.

The thing they had worked so hard to accomplish
the land they had journeyed so long to enter

was not to be theirs.

Instead, it was their children who would enjoy it.

Their sin had robbed them of Your promise.

May that not be true of me!

But may all those who come after me

indeed possess what You have promised!

Pray this Lazaroo in sold-out surrender:

“If a member of the community…does what is forbidden…”
(Leviticus 4:27)

Sadly, Jesus…

who hasn’t?

I have.

Everyone I know has.

You say the same:

There’s no one righteous, not even one.

But things can’t stay that way, can they?

Sin has to be atoned for.

Either the sinner pays
or someone with sufficient means

has to pay it for them.

Which is exactly what You did on the cross
for everyone who puts their trust in You.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“They dash to the city wall…”
(Nahum 2:5)

That’s what enemy soldiers did, Jesus…

when attacking a city they felt confident they could destroy.

They didn’t crawl or walk.

They ran to the wall –
eager to destroy those cowering within.

Perhaps that’s what the enemies of my soul do, Father.

They’ve seen the sins and blunders of my past.
They assume I’ll keep right on sinning and blundering.

But by Your grace and in Your strength:

Not this time.

Pray this Lazaroo with unbridled joy:

“You take away my blessing from their children forever.”
(Micah 2:9)

Oh, Jesus. That’s what most sin does.

It removes Your blessings.

But not only ours!
All too often, it robs our loved ones, too.

You long to bless us.
You love to bless us.
Blessing us may be Your all-time favorite thing to do.

So when we disqualify ourselves
it breaks Your heart –
maybe even more than it does ours.

If I stop sinning
You bring the blessings.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.”
(Genesis 2:8)

Seriously, Jesus?

They actually tried to hide from You –
the One who made them –

and the trees they were cowering behind?

There’s no hiding from You, is there?

Nor – unless like Adam and Eve I’ve sinned –
would I ever try to.

So since this whole “hiding from You” thing is utterly futile

help me refocus my mind, passions and energy

on wholehearted, guilt-free

obedience.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable obedience:

“…you shall not enter it…”
(Deuteronomy 1:37)

What a devastating thing to hear, Jesus!

Moses took his life in his hands to return to Egypt
in order to lead Your people to the Promised Land.

When the people sinned at its border
he had to endure 40 years of trials in the desert.

Then it was time to go in.
Without Moses.

Because he broke faith with You.

What’s my promised land on this earth, Father?

Help me be faithful!

Pray this Lazaroo with sober assessment:

“Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking…”
(Genesis 3:8)

What a thrill that must have been, Jesus –

to be able to hear You approaching…
to know they were about to see You!

Except, it wasn’t a thrill for them on that day.

They had sinned.

You were the last person – I mean God! –

they wanted to see.

I’m the same way.

So which is it for me today?

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide…”
(2 Chronicles 3:3)

There’s never been another temple like it, Jesus –

but that makes me think:

What kind of foundation am I building?

Solomon did a great job laying the foundation for Your physical temple

but his spiritual foundation didn’t hold.

It all started when he disobeyed you in seemingly small ways

first this…then that.

But there’s nothing small about disobedience.

Pray this Lazaroo with passion:

“…you must not…be intimate with any man…”
(Hosea 3:3)

Why would Hosea say such a thing to his wife, Jesus?

Actually, he had a pretty good reason:

She had cheated on him.

So why would he take her back?

Which raises another question:

Why have You taken me back?

I’ve sinned.
That’s cheating on You.

Hosea took back Gomer because You told him to

which is the same reason I’ve got to forgive those

who’ve sinned against me.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob like the splendor of Israel…”
(Nahum 2:2)

Well, now, Jesus…

that’s some serious splendor.

There was a day when Israel was the greatest nation on earth

envied by all who trembled in her shadow.

No longer.

Her sins have reduced her to a mere wisp
of what she used to be

as will my sins do to me

unless I forsake them, repent
and return with all my heart to You.
