Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“He built the Most Holy Place…”
(2 Chronicles 3:8)

What an honor, Jesus!

To be the person who constructed
the room holding the ark of the covenant –

more sacred than any other place on earth –

the unique focus of Your Presence among us.

Of course, Solomon didn’t do it himself.

As it is today…
it was the unnamed workers
who actually performed Your holy work.

You know which of us merely point

and which bend our backs to the labor.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“He summons his picked troops, yet they stumble on their way.”
(Nahum 2:5)

What an honor to be chosen by You, Jesus –

to be given a holy task, a meaningful goal
a vital assignment!

But just because You’ve sent me

doesn’t mean I’ll complete my mission.

I have to stay deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 with You

or I’ll stumble along the way.

Sadly, that’s already happened – many times.

But hallelujah!

You keep picking me up
and sending me again.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“They were responsible for the care of the sanctuary…”
(Numbers 3:38)

What a high and holy responsibility, Jesus!

Surely they recognized the honor You had bestowed on them.
Surely they never resented this work, no matter how hard.

During this age, Your sanctuary in that form no longer exists.

But that doesn’t mean we’re left with no sanctuary.

That one was but a copy of Your true sanctuary in heaven.

What an honor one day to serve You there –

forever!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Malkijah son of Harim and Hasshub son of Pahath-Moab repaired…the Tower of the Ovens.”
(Nehemiah 3:11)

What an honor, Jesus!

These men restored this important tower
near Jerusalem’s Corner Gate –

“The Tower of the Ovens” –
so named because that’s where the city’s bread was baked.

Like so many faithful people in Your Church who tithe and serve

they didn’t have to be the ones who fed the people.

But they’re the ones

who made the feeding of Your sheep possible.
