Saturday, May 4, 2024

 

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“‘Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go!’ So they went out and began killing throughout the city. While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown, crying out, ‘Alas, Sovereign Lord! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?’”
(Ezekiel 9:7-8)

No, Jesus.

You didn’t destroy them all.

But You do know whom to destroy and whom to spare.

I don’t deserve it –

but thank You for sparing me

right down to this very moment.

Ask big! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then I said, ‘Not so, Sovereign Lord! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now…No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.’ ‘Very well,’ he said, ‘I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.’”
(Ezekiel 4:14-15)

Did Ezekiel talk You out of it, Jesus…

or was this a test?

Sometimes I don’t get what I want because I didn’t ask.

Even so, You say yes

only when it’s Your will!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“As soon as the copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read…they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and compelled them by force to stop. Thus the work on the house of God in Jerusalem came to a standstill…”
(Ezra 4:23-24)

That doesn’t seem right, Jesus!

All because of a letter?

No.

You’re in Total Control.
You’re Sovereign!

Never let me forget that when something happens or doesn’t happen

it’s because You caused it
or allowed it.

Pray this Lazaroo in respectful awe:

“So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

Paul longed to return to the believers in Thessalonica, Jesus

but Satan blocked him.

We don’t know how or why.

But You either let it happen or caused it to happen
because Satan can thwart no plan of Yours!

Was sending Timothy in his place second best?

No.

You’re Sovereign.

That was Your plan all along.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’ Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.’”
(Ezekiel 3:27)

This is eye-opening, Jesus!

You don’t want me to waste Your time
trying to force people to pay attention to You.

I need to tell them about You as clearly and accurately as I can

then leave the results to You.

If they listen, they’re in!

If they refuse
they excluded themselves.

Pray this Lazaroo in patient readiness:

“I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent…But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’”
(Ezekiel 3:26-27)

Sometimes silence is golden, Jesus.

Sometimes it’s disobedience –

or even worse –

cowardice.

It is my heart’s desire to be silent when You tell me to hush

and to be vocal when You tell me to speak.

In every moment of every day, Holy Spirit…

lead me!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“‘Go to Bethel and sin; go to Gilgal and sin yet more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three years. Burn leavened bread as a thank offering and brag about your freewill offerings—boast about them, you Israelites, for this is what you love to do,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.”
(Amos 4:4-5)

On the cusp of this New Year, Jesus

I’ve got to remember it’s not enough to jump through the hoops.

For You…

it’s all about my heart.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The Sovereign LORD has spoken…”
(Amos 3:8)

When You speak, Jesus

That’s it.

No more debate.

There can be questions, seeking to understand.
But there’d better be no one arguing.

God help those who disagree
thinking they know better!

It’s not merely that You know what’s best.

It’s Your title: “Sovereign LORD” –

which means the reason You know what’s going to happen

is that You have all power to make it happen

while granting us the free will we crave.

Pray this Lazaroo with Banzai belief:

(2 Peter 2:1)

I’m bought and paid for, Jesus!

By asking You to be my Savior
I accepted Your terms:

You gave Your all for me
I agree to give my all for You.

The thing is…

I still sin.
I don’t want to…but I do.

Am I denying Your sovereignty when I succumb to Satan’s temptation?

I fervently hope not!

You haven’t given up on me.
I’ll never give up on You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…even denying the sovereign Lord…”
(2 Peter 2:1)

How can they do that, Jesus?

They’d have to be blind not to recognize You!

Well, yeah.

That’s exactly what they are.

But not just spiritually blind –

also physically, mentally and emotionally –
blind as bats.

Actually, that’s an insult to bats.
They’re blinder.

It’s that word, “sovereign” that gets them, isn’t it?

Says You’re the Boss.

And of course, You Are

which leaves them no alternative
but to squeeze shut their eyes.
