Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Say to Aaron and his sons:…‘The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.”
(Leviticus 6:25-26)

You told them what to do

where to do it

and how to do it, Jesus.

Do that for me!

Well…actually, You’ve already done that in Your Word.

Maybe I should obey those
before begging for more direction.

Pray this Lazaroo with immovable determination:

“Altogether, those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds numbered 212…The gatekeepers had been assigned to their positions of trust by David and Samuel the seer. They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord—the house called the tent of meeting.”
(1 Chronicles 9:22-23)

Your House still needs to be guarded, Jesus

even today.

There are many who seek to water down Your gospel

stray from Your Word

turn Your Church into a social club.

May I ever fulfill my position of trust!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Moses, Aaron and the leaders of the community counted the Kohathites by their clans and families. All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting, counted by clans, were 2,750. This was the total of all those in the Kohathite clans who served at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the Lord’s command through Moses.”
(Numbers 4:34-37)

You instruct us to count Your people, Jesus

because people count.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the Levites took up the ark…and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it…and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.”
(2 Chronicles 5:4-6)

Oh, Jesus.

I’m so glad I don’t have to kill a bunch of animals
to worship You.

You sacrificed Yourself for me!

In grateful devotion for the rest of my days
I sacrifice myself in passionate service for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting…Assign to each man the specific things he is to carry.”
(Numbers 4:30, 32)

They had to carry the frames of the tabernacle, Jesus –

along with its crossbars, posts and bases.

They had to carry the posts of the surrounding courtyard

with their bases, tent pegs, ropes, all their equipment
and everything related to their use.

Show me, LORD

what You’ve assigned to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“The Gershonites are to do all that needs to be done with these things…carrying or doing other work…This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the tent of meeting. Their duties are to be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.”
(Numbers 4:26-28)

Somebody had to do it, Jesus.

The Gershonites were it.

My guess?

To carry all those heavy items they had to be pretty strong.

When You assign me a job
You always equip me to do it.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“The Lord said to Moses, ‘Take a census also of the Gershonites by their families and clans. Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.”
(Numbers 4:21-23)

Why would You command Moses to count these people, Jesus?

You already knew how many there were.

In fact, as we humans almost always do
they probably made a few mistakes while they were counting.

But You have us count people because people count!

especially those who faithfully serve You.

Take warning! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. So he said to them, ‘Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours.’”
(1 Samuel 2:22-23)

Eli rebuked his sons, Jesus

but it stopped there.

He failed to restrain them

which cost Eli and his sons their lives.

Pray this Lazaroo with new awareness:

“This is the work of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting: the care of the most holy things. When the camp is to move, Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain and put it over the ark of the covenant law.”
(Numbers 4:4-5)

What are the holy things I am to care for, Jesus?

Is it possible that I don’t recognize what is truly holy?

Teach me, LORD!

May I view what is around me

through Your eyes.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: ‘Take a census of the Kohathite branch of the Levites by their clans and families. Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.’”
(Numbers 4:1-3)

Did you not know how many Levites there were, Jesus?

Of course You did.
You told them to count so they would know.

That happens a lot, doesn’t it?

Thanks.
I appreciate it!
