Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Although it is true that I am a guardian-redeemer of our family, there is another who is more closely related than I.”
(Ruth 3:12)

Naomi had it all worked out for her widowed daughter-in-law, Jesus.

Boaz would marry Ruth and give Naomi grandbabies.

Well, in fact, that’s exactly what happened!

Eventually.

But first, they had to face a huge, unexpected roadblock.

May I never fear the roadblocks Satan sets up in my life, Father.

Because nothing and nobody
can thwart Your Will!

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent spirit:

“They declared a fast…”
(Jonah 3:5)

These days, Jesus

people seldom declare a fast
unless their serious.

We go without food only when we want something really badly

or when we’ve had the living tar scared out of us.

That was pretty much what happened to the Ninevites

after Jonah showed up and warned them
that You were going to destroy their city in 40 days.

May I always remember:

Because they got serious and got serious fast

You relented.

Pray this Lazaroo with fiery determination:

“…sighing has become my daily food…”
(Job 3:24)

Job didn’t get it, Jesus.

He thought he had done everything right.

But then, in one horrible day, he lost it all.

Not knowing how proud You were of him
he concluded You had betrayed him.

But You hadn’t.

You chose Job to prove to Satan that no matter what happened to him

Job would never turn against You.

When I’m confronted with Satan’s temptation

may I too pass the test!

Pray this Lazaroo in full-armored caution:

“…he pursued him.”
(2 Samuel 2:19)

Help me to be sure of what I’m pursuing, Jesus

making certain You want me to chase it.

Because with the gifts, talents and skills You’ve given me –

plus this burning determination –

I might catch it.

If it’s good, right and holy

and in Your perfect time

bless my pursuit with success!

But what a tragedy it would be if – as with what happened to Asahel –

when I catch it

it catches me.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble anticipation:

“…he will make a sudden end of all who live on the earth.”
(Zephaniah 1:18)

In the last days, Jesus

that’s what will happen.

You did it once by flood, when You gave Noah the rainbow sign:

no more water
the fire next time.

I’m thankful I missed the first time.

I sure don’t want to stick around for the second!

But this much I do long to experience and see:

Eternal life – in Your new heaven and earth.
