Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid confidence:

“The LORD said to Moses…”
(Numbers 3:40)

I know You talked to Moses, Jesus, which is why we have –

Genesis…Exodus…Leviticus…Numbers…Deuteronomy…
Psalms 90…maybe the book of Job.

You gave Your Word to us through at least 40 different people

over approximately 4,228 years.

When I read the Bible, I’m not reading some person’s made-up ideas.

I’m reading Your Words to me.

That’s why my heart burns within me

when I read, hear and understand Your Word!

…my life forever changed.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled gratitude:

“If a member of the community sins unintentionally…he is guilty.”
(Leviticus 4:27)

Wow, Jesus.

That…sounds harsh.

I mean…if a person didn’t mean to do anything wrong…

…You know?

But on second thought, I guess I understand.

Wrong is wrong…whether I knew it or not.
I either did it…or didn’t do it.

Whether or not I meant to do it
it’s still done –

and I’m the one who did it.

I’ll tell you one thing:

I am so GRATEFUL for Your grace!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you…write them on the tablet of your heart.”
(Proverbs 3:3)

So, Jesus…

my heart has a tablet.

I know – not the kind of tablet sold in electronics stores

but a real tablet nonetheless

the kind that goes deep into my very being
forever changing my thoughts, words, behavior.

Show me how to write Your words on the tablet of my heart, Holy Spirit!

ensuring that I will mature, grow, understand
and honor You.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“Reflect on what I am saying…”
(2 Timothy 2:7)

Not a bad idea with anyone, Jesus.

The better attention I pay to what someone says

the greater my understanding of their words
and of the person who speaks them.

Which is why, when it comes to Your Word

reflection is not an option.
It’s essential.

I’ve got to understand what You’re saying to me.

But even more importantly

I long to know better and better
the One saying it.

Pray this Lazaroo with a longing heart:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever…He reveals deep…things…”
(Daniel 2:20, 22)

Yes You do, Jesus!

things too deep for me to

understand
grasp
fathom.

You’re the God of the deep!

You rule over the surface
but only You can plumb the deepest depths

because they were created
by You.

Deep isn’t deep to You.

Deep is as accessible to You
as a bowl of cereal is to me.

O God!

Show me the deep.

Face it…as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…words you cannot understand.”
(Ezekiel 3:6)

With more than a million words in the English language, Jesus

there are plenty I can’t understand.

With more than 6,500 spoken languages worldwide

the number of words I can’t understand is mind boggling.

It’s the words I do understand but don’t obey

that bother me.

Sure, there are some words in the Bible that I probably don’t truly grasp

but You make most of it so plain that misunderstanding

isn’t my problem.

 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!
