Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves…with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

I don’t often think of good deeds as clothing, Jesus

a precious behavior that adorns those who worship You.

You don’t want the literal clothing a person wears

to detract in any way from their spiritual garments –

emanating from the good they do

because of Your life-changing Presence

in their daily lives!

Glorify God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“His sister’s name was Maakah. Another descendant was named Zelophehad, who had only daughters. Makir’s wife Maakah gave birth to a son and named him Peresh. His brother was named Sheresh, and his sons were Ulam and Rakem.”
(1 Chronicles 7:15-16)

Back then it was all about the boys, wasn’t it, Jesus?

But why?

Physically, they were able to do more work.
They could strap on their swords and fight their enemies.

But in today’s world

women are increasingly crucial
to the advancement of Your kingdom!

Pray this Lazaroo with obedient diligence:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…to be…busy at home…”
(Titus 2:3-5)

Of course, these older women can only train the younger women to be busy at home, Jesus

if they, too, are busy at home.

Training isn’t merely about talking.

It involves showing how it’s done.
There’s nothing like a good example!

Nor is this principle for women alone.

It’s for men, too!

Yes, homes are for relaxation and rest…

but they also require a lot of work.

Pray this Lazaroo with a strong desire to please God:

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

I know some women who would be offended by this, Jesus.

They’re all about elaborate hairstyles, expensive jewelry and designer clothing.

It’s not really about those things, though, is it?

When she has a passionate heart for You

a Godly woman can make a gunny sack
look like a million dollars.

Seek Godly guidance, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

So You’re not against us looking good, Jesus!

That’s good to know. 😉

But You want us to do so circumspectly when in public, not suggestively.

You want us to dress appropriately for the occasion
to show some respectability, some class.

That doesn’t take a whole lot of money, does it?

When I decide what to wear each morning
may I lean on You, Holy Spirit!

Take it to heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

Paul had just finished telling the men what he wanted them to do, Jesus –

lifting up holy hands in prayer
without anger or disputing.

Now, he’s asking the women of the church

to dress in a way that glorifies You.

My guess is he’s correcting the shortcomings of each. 😉

Do I need to correct any of this, LORD?

Wholehearted worship
anger
disputing
dressing modestly?

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…I want the men everywhere to pray…”
(1 Timothy 2:8)

Of course, You want women everywhere to pray, too, Jesus!

So why single out the men?

Is it because You want to make it clear that praying is not only women’s work?

Is it because men sometimes focus more on showing their faith by their actions

and fail to understand that in time their actions will falter
if they don’t stay in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You?

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes.”
(Micah 2:9)

You love the women You’ve created, Jesus –

especially those descended from Abraham.

But when they sin again and again –

rejecting You, following other gods –

they’ll pay for their disobedience
and their detestable idolatry.

Though You’ve blessed me time after time beyond measure

If I reject You and put other things and people before You
You’ll do the same to me

because You discipline those You love.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit…”
(Acts 2:18)

There was a day when the expectation was

that You would work primarily through men, Jesus.

But that day is long gone.

The problems are too great.

The dilemmas too dire.

We need all hands on deck.

Besides, You’re the one who made women

You know how smart, resourceful and gifted they are.

Admit it, LORD…

You were saving the best for last. 😉
