Pray this Lazaroo in breakthrough understanding:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding…”
(Colossians 2:2)

Wow, Jesus.

Complete understanding doesn’t come from hours of research alone.

It’s incomplete

until Your people are encouraged in heart
and united in love.

That doesn’t mean You don’t want us to study Your Word.

You do!

But it does mean that there’s no substitute

for the loving, encouraging assembling of ourselves together.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
(Habakkuk 2:14)

That’s pretty good coverage, Jesus! 😉

And oh, how I long for that day!

So much of our world is going the other direction now –

knowing less and less about who You really Are…
turning to the gods of riches, popularity, technology.

While those who do claim Your Name

often ascribe to You false beliefs
because they don’t study Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.”
(Titus 2:1)

In other words, Jesus…

whatever I tell others
has to agree with Your Word.

Not just part of the Bible.

All of it.

It would be easy for me to isolate a verse

take it out of context
imply something misleading.

I don’t dare do that!

You want me to stay in Your Word each day
reading it, studying it, absorbing it

living it out every day.

 Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal: 

“Therefore, as it is written…”
(1 Corinthians 1:31)

That settles it for me, Jesus!

If it’s in Your Word
I’m doing it.

Period.

Of course I should attempt to understand why!

You love explaining things to me.
I love figuring them out.

(Although I wonder how many things I’ve “figured out”
are a total miss.)

Which acknowledges the elephant in the room:

I want to faithfully obey Your Word
but first I have to understand it.

O Holy Spirit…

help me!
