Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…listen carefully…”
(Ezekiel 3:9)

Why wouldn’t I listen carefully…

when it’s You speaking, Jesus?

Every word of Yours is flawless.

You alone have the words of eternal life!

You spoke the worlds into existence.

I exist because You spoke me into life.

So why do I sometimes only half-listen when Your Word

is taught
sung
preached?

How dare I?

You deserve greater respect than that.

I cannot survive

let alone thrive

without the sustaining power

of Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo, sobered:

“I write to you, fathers…”
(1 John 2:13)

Thank You, Jesus!

because the fathers of our day
need a good writing-to.

Of course, You’ve already written.

But are fathers reading what You’ve given them?
Are they taking it to heart, obeying it?

Some are.

Some are rejecting the Bible entirely.

Others, deluded, are picking and choosing which parts they like

discarding the rest

as though Your Word was a buffet line
where desserts can be eaten

the meat ignored.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest respect:

“…the whole world will be consumed.”
(Zephaniah 1:18)

That sounds like the kind of overstatement I hear so often, Jesus.

But this time it isn’t.

This is You.

You don’t exaggerate.

Whatever You declare

You have the ability to bring to pass.

Over the years I’ve learned the hard way:

I have to take the pronouncements of so many people with a grain of salt.

But when You say You’ll do something – anything!

I’d better take it to heart.

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 in fervency of spirit

“…they will set it on fire…”
(Obadiah 1:18)

You’ve promised that Your people will set on fire the house of their enemies, Jesus

just by being who they are –

a fire
a flame.

What is there about us that sets the houses of our enemies on fire, Father?

Oh.
Right.

It’s not me, it’s You.

Your word is in my heart like a fire
shut up in my bones.

I’m weary of holding it in.

In fact
I can’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with bolstered faith:

“Moses said to God, ‘Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them…’”
(Exodus 3:13)

He’s stalling, isn’t He, Jesus?

In the middle of the desert Moses hears Your voice.
It’s coming from a flaming bush that doesn’t burn up

– and that’s not enough for Him?

What – did You have to spell it out for him in writing?

Oh…wait a minute.

You’ve already done that for me, haven’t You?
I guess that leaves me with no excuse.

Pray this Lazaroo in fiery dedication:

“Listen, all you peoples…”
(Lamentations 1:18)

That’s quite an opening line, Jesus.

Jeremiah isn’t merely speaking to a group of his friends.
He isn’t limiting his remarks to those under the hearing of his voice.
He doesn’t aim his words at the nation of Israel alone.

Instead, he sends this message to everyone on earth

not only to those living in his day
but to all people of all time

including me.

Why?

They’re not his words.
They’re Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Hear this word the LORD has spoken…”
(Amos 3:1)

I want to hear every word You’ve spoken, Jesus!

Well…that’s not exactly what I mean.

I want to hear every word You’ve spoken…

…to me.

A lot of them are found in Your Word, Father.

Perhaps most of them.
But not all of them.

Some of them are spoken to me by You, Holy Spirit

deep within my soul.

May I take every word You speak to me

to heart.

Pray this Lazaroo…with goose bumps:

“…the truth, which lives in us…”
(2 John 1:2)

When you speak, Jesus…

every word matters.

You didn’t say, “the truth, which You’ve heard…”

although faith comes by hearing Your Word.

You didn’t say, “the truth, which you’ve read…”

though I need to read the Bible every day.

You didn’t say, “the truth, which you’ve memorized…”

although I definitely need to do just that.

You said Your truth lives in me!

It’s alive! Active! Working! Transforming me
into Your amazing Image.
