Happy New Year! Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“We have heard a message from the Lord…”
(Obadiah 1:1)

Oh, we’ve heard Your message, Jesus

and that’s good.

But the question is:

What have we done with what we’ve heard?

We are without excuse:

The evidence about Your Majesty and Power is everywhere.

Just like seeing the awesome things You do

hearing Your Word

should be believing.

But the majority of people ignore what they see and hear

and listen instead to Satan’s lies.

Not me, this year, LORD!

Not me.

Pray this Lazaroo without excuse:

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

That can certainly happen, Jesus

especially with some of the more obscure points of Jewish law.

But most of Your commands? Things like –

telling the truth
not killing people
faithfully attending church
not committing adultery
sharing my faith
not stealing
pleasing You
not craving other people’s possessions
helping the poor –

those nobody has to tell me to obey.

If I break them, it’s no accident.

I did it on purpose.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…the way of obedience to the LORD’s commands.”
(Judges 2:17)

Your “way of obedience,” Jesus?

Let me take a stab at it:

You expect me to obey You fully.
None of this “I did some of it” stuff.

You expect me to obey You without excuse.
None of this, “I couldn’t do it because…” malarkey.

You expect me to obey You immediately.
None of this, “When I get around to it” procrastination business.

So…is that pretty close? 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in loving, eternal gratitude:

“…pay with his life for this…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

That’s what Adonijah had to do, Jesus

and that’s what was required of me.

I’ve sinned against You.

Not once or twice, but repeatedly.

My life!

That’s the pronounced sentence
for willfully defying Your loving commands.

I was imprisoned on death row

until You stepped into my cell
and took my place.

You let them kill You instead of me

so that I
utterly guilty
without excuse

could go free.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…you have…shown partiality in matters of the law.”
(Malachi 2:9)

Not something that pleases You, Jesus.

You gave Your law to be applied equally, fairly, to all.
Instead, they used it inconsistently

holding some to its righteous standards
excusing others.

I can’t begin to imagine how displeased You are

with my inconsistency, LORD.

Please forgive me!
I am utterly without excuse.

All I can do is give it everything I’ve got

and beg You to be Yourself in me.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“When he is made aware of the sin he committed…”
(Leviticus 4:23)

It’s possible to break one of Your rules and not know it, Jesus…

sort of.

But because Your rules are there to help and protect me

down deep, I usually know:

Something’s amiss.

I’m at least vaguely aware I’ve crossed some sort of line
done something unwise, even potentially harmful.

So when a courageous person dares to point out my sin

in reality

I have no excuse.
