Pray this Lazaroo in humble awareness:

“He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold…”
(2 Chronicles 3:7)

Well…not exactly, Jesus.

Solomon ordered the work done.
It wouldn’t have happened without him.

But he didn’t personally overlay anything.
It was the workers who performed that golden task.

Leaders are essential…

…but so are workers.

Neither can succeed without the other.

Sometimes I’m the leader
sometimes I’m a worker.

But in whichever role I serve You

remind me to respect the other.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the gold he used was gold of Parvaim.”
(2 Chronicles 3:6)

No one today knows the location of Parvaim, Jesus.

But it’s telling that when it came time to decorate Your temple
Solomon refused to use whatever gold was easily available.

Instead, he sought out the finest, purest gold
and paid whatever price necessary
to give You the best.

That’s the desire of my heart, Father!

You deserve the very best
because You give Your very best to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“He began building on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.”
(2 Chronicles 3:2)

Pretty specific on this Ash Wednesday Valentines Day, Jesus!

That’s exactly when Solomon began building Your temple.
There’s never been another like it.

He built other things, as well

but none more important than this.

When will I begin building my most important project, Father?

Have I already begun
or is that day, month and year still ahead of me?

Only looking back

will I know.

Pray this Lazaroo in awe:

“…before one stone was laid on another in the LORD’S temple.”
(Haggai 2:15)

I’m thinking of a stonemason who’s built a hundred buildings, Jesus

but never one like this.

Your temple!

The place dedicated to You, to Your glory
the sacred heart of Israel where You chose to dwell.

Would that stonemason have trembled as he picked up his first stone?

Do I…

as I prepare to offer my service

to the one and only
God of the ages?

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn anticipation:

“…all that was done in the Most Holy Place…”
(1 Chronicles 1:49)

The Most Holy Place, Jesus

the inner sanctuary of the temple in Jerusalem

Your dwelling place on earth

containing the Ark of the Covenant

which contained the Ten Commandments
that You carved out with your own finger

entered once a year by the high priest

until its veil was torn from top to bottom at your crucifixion

now empty, covered over

buried under another’s holy place

waiting.
