Pull on your work gloves, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling…”
(Philippians 2:12)

I can’t work UP my salvation, Jesus.

I’m saved by my faith in You, not by my works.

But I do have to work OUT my salvation once I’ve received it!

Not casually, but with fear and trembling –

‘cause the stakes are really, really, really high!

Pray this Lazaroo with shaking-in-our-boots awe:

“Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”
(Zechariah 2:13)

Sometimes for days and weeks, Jesus

at other times for months and years –

not understanding Your perfect timing –

we wonder:

“Why don’t You rise up in power and act?
Why don’t You do something about this?”

And then, all at once, with stunning, sudden finality

You rain down Your retribution on those who defied You!

and I shut my mouth in trembling awe.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria…”
(Amos 3:9)

You can gather Your people together any time You wish, Jesus.

But when it’s to teach us a lesson
we tremble.

The very word, “Samaria” meant “watch mountain.”

The city of Samaria was the capital of ten tribes in Israel
after You split Your nation in two.

The Samaritans disobeyed You by intermarrying with the heathen.

O God!

May You never have to call me
to the mountains of Samaria.

Cling to God’s promises, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Before them…the sky trembles.”
(Joel 2:10)

Those are some fearsome creatures You created, Jesus!

Punishment You inflicted on Your own people –
a terrifying swarm of supernatural locusts.

No wonder the very sky trembled!

But if I tremble before You –

terrified to sin against Your greatness, majesty, love and wisdom –

I’ll never have to tremble because of Your punishment.

Sadly, I’ve failed at that in the past

and experienced Your loving discipline…

which steered me all the way back

to You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings…”
(Hosea 3:5)

What a fascinating juxtaposition, Jesus:

“trembling”…and “blessing.”

So as I look at this, here’s what I’m wondering:

Do You bless those who approach You with trembling?

Well, I know You bless everyone in ways beyond counting.

But do You reserve a special blessing for those
who tremble because they recognize more than most

Your greatness, majesty, wisdom, love and power?

Awesome God!
I come trembling!

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They will come trembling to the LORD…”
(Hosea 3:5)

That’s not a bad way to come to You, Jesus.

It sure beats coming to You full of pride.
It’s better than coming to You burning with anger.
It’s preferable to coming to You eaten up with doubt.

When I come to You with trembling

it’s because I realize how small I am
and how awesome You Are

how flawed and sinful I am
and how perfect, righteous and holy You Are.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-engendered courage:

“Do not be afraid of them…”
(Ezekiel 3:9)

You don’t want me to be afraid, do You, Jesus?

In part, I know that’s because You love me.
When I suffer, You suffer.

But it’s more than that.

You don’t want me to be afraid
because I have You!

With You on my side –

or rather, with me on yours –

there is absolutely no reason on Your green earth

for me to be caught trembling in my boots.

Not ever.

Pray this Lazaroo with opened eyes:

“I came to you…with much trembling.”
(1 Corinthians 2:3)

This is the Apostle Paul talking, Jesus!

The man through whom You’ve given us
much of the New Testament.

The man through whom You healed sick people
and raised the dead.

The man who was stoned and left for dead
but got up.

The man who was bitten by a poisonous snake
and shook it off with no ill effects.

If there were times when he trembled

so can I.
