Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“He made ten gold lampstands according to the specifications for them and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold sprinkling bowls.”
(2 Chronicles 4:7-8)

The most important words in that entire passage, Jesus:

“…according to the specifications…”

That matters to You, doesn’t it?

…and not just when it comes to lampstands and sprinkling bowls.

Add this strategy to your toolbox, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“We alone will build it for the Lord, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, commanded us.”
(Ezra 4:3]

Their enemies didn’t get it, Jesus.

They couldn’t grasp
why Your people didn’t want their help to build the temple.

So the heads of Your families spoke their language –

answered them with a reason they could understand.

When I experience opposition from Your enemies

help me answer them with words supplied by You

that’ll stop them in their tracks.

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant gratitude:

“He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains. He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.”
(2 Chronicles 3:16-17)

Yes, Jesus!

Jakin: “He establishes.”
Boaz: “In Him is strength.”

Everything that lasts has been established by You.

In You…is my strength!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“You have no part with us in building a temple to our God. We alone will build it for the LORD, the God of Israel…”
(Ezra 4:3)

That sounds rude, Jesus.

Here these “nice people” were offering to help the Jews build Your temple

and they were rebuffed!

The Jews wouldn’t let them!

But Your leaders recognized that these people were their enemies

looking for a way to sabotage the work.

O God!
Open our eyes!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“He made the curtain of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim worked into it. For the front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits long, each with a capital five cubits high.”
(2 Chronicles 3:14-15)

King Solomon didn’t actually do the work, Jesus

but he’s the one who ordered it done.

If he hadn’t, the temple wouldn’t have been built.

From leader to worker

it takes us all!

Pray this Lazaroo with a responsive, willing heart:

“Next to him, the repairs were made by the Levites…”
(Nehemiah 3:17)

The Levites were incredibly busy, Jesus.

Their hands were already full!

They had to prepare to sing Psalms during Temple services

they performed construction and maintenance for the Temple
they served as guards, teachers and judges
and it was their responsibility to maintain the cities of refuge.

But they were needed, so they helped!

May that be my spirit

no matter how busy I think I am.

Pray this Lazaroo in amazed admiration:

“For the Most Holy Place he made a pair of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold. The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the other cherub.”
(2 Chronicles 3:10-11)

Solomon had his artisans create stunning figures, Jesus – encompassing 35 feet in all!

May I, too, offer You my very best!

Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-given awareness:

“…they saw the foundation of this temple being laid…”
(Ezra 3:12)

How many times have I tried to start something, build something, do something, Jesus…

without properly considering the absolute importance
of laying a deep, strong, solid foundation?

Buildings without good foundations can’t withstand powerful storms.

Neither can projects, missions, businesses, families

lives.

While I’m in such a hurry to get started, I’m tempted to ignore the storms that will come.

But that’s a lethal mistake.
Because they will.

Prioritize! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The gold nails weighed fifty shekels.”
(2 Chronicles 3:9)

Even the nails of the Most Holy Place in Your temple were gold, Jesus!

Some would consider this wasteful.

But they’re wrong!

You are worthy of the best we have –
for all of it comes from You.

How dare we skimp on anything we offer to You!

Of course, even our best isn’t good enough for You!

My best isn’t good enough for You!
But may I never give less.

Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“Give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid.”
(Haggai 2:18)

What a day that was, Jesus!

So much happiness, so much hope, so much rejoicing.

Times of beginning are glorious.

After all, most people never start!

Sadly, however, the rest of the story is this:

Far more people begin than finish.

I long to do both, Father!

A great start…all the way straight through to a great finish.

I’m in Your hands.
