Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.”
(2 Chronicles 3:8)

That’s a lot of gold, Jesus.

23 tons.
Wow.

And no ordinary gold.
Fine gold.

The current price of gold is $1,683 per ounce

There are 32,000 ounces in a ton.

So Solomon overlaid the inside of Your Most Holy Place

in Your Temple in Jerusalem with

with 1 billion
238 million
688 thousand dollars worth of gold.

A little chintzy…but I guess that’s the best he could do.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“If we died with him, we will also live with him…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

Because of the cross, Jesus

I believe You paid for the sins of my past.
I’m looking forward to living with You in heaven.

But that phrase, “died with him” gives me pause.

“With” You.

Wow.

You mean…right there?

It sounds like You want me to envision

hanging on the cross with You
until, as death to sin engulfs me I cry:

“It is finished!”

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-thumping anticipation:

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.”
(1 Corinthians 2:9)

So…nothing I’ve experienced on this earth can prepare me for eternity with You, Jesus!

Nothing I’ve ever seen.
Nothing I’ve ever heard.
Nothing I’ve ever imagined.

Wow.

When You love someone, You go all out, don’t You?

You’ve already proved that on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“…ruler of the district…”
(Nehemiah 3:14)

That’s rather quaint language, Jesus.

Districts don’t have rulers anymore.
We have leaders, officials, captains…that sort of thing.

Unless…

is there some district You want me to rule?

It wouldn’t necessarily be to rule over people, would it?

They don’t like that too much.

But maybe some “district” of my life?

Could it possibly be a district that Satan is currently ruling?

Wow. Gotcha.

Time for me to step up and take charge.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“I will live among you…”
(Zechariah 2:11)

You’re everywhere present, Jesus…

so this is an intensification of Your Presence, isn’t it?

You’re always wherever I am

but there’s the potential of something closer
more palpable, more intimate.

Wow.

I want that.

Let me rephrase:
I want You.

But You want me, too, don’t You?

Oh, not merely in the sense
that I’ve prayed to receive You as my Savior

but in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Prepare a guest room for me…”
(Philemon 1:22)

Ha! The Apostle Paul invited himself right over, didn’t he, Jesus?

Not only was he writing them a letter
asking them to lovingly forgive their runaway worker

now he calls in a few favors
reminding them that they owe him their very lives.

Wow. Paul pulls out all the stops –

in behalf of someone little regarded by the world
but precious in Your sight.

May I go and do likewise.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…the kingdom he promised those who love him…”
(James 2:5)

When You make a promise, Jesus

You keep it.

Though inadequately…I do love You!

That means the kingdom You promised

is mine.

Wow.

I don’t know what it will look like.

I’m not even sure what all it means.

But this I do know about You:

Whatever glorious, awesome, mind-blowing grandeur I can imagine

You will surpass.

That should get me through these rough patches in the meantime.

(2 Chronicles 3:5)

This was for Your temple, Jesus.

As I picture that golden hallway…

wow!

But right now I’m thinking about the pine.

That’s what went up first.
That’s what held up the gold.

First comes the pine

then the gold.

If there’s no pine

there’s no gold.

Which season am I in, LORD?

Pine or gold?

Please remind me:

Both have equal value.

Not literally.

However, I’m not sure that excuses me from applying this passage to my life!

and advised them to settle for something less than I have?

In that case, I’m saying to them what James tells me not to, aren’t I?

Wow.
