Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority…to the emperor, as the supreme authority…”
(1 Peter 2:13)

This one’s hard to do, Jesus

whether the supreme authority is an evil dictator
or somebody I voted against.

But it has nothing to do with them, does it?

You command me to submit to them
for Your sake.

So for your sake – when it comes to preference –

I will.

But if they ever require me to disobey You

they can take a hike.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.”
(2 John 1:8)

You deserve my obedience Jesus.

If I serve You perfectly in every way
You owe me nothing.

But You love me so much that You long to reward me anyway!

if only I don’t blow it by disobeying You.

You don’t owe me any incentive whatsoever to stay true to You

but that’s exactly what You just gave me.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”
(2 John 1:6)

We’re not to obey everything, are we, Jesus?

Obedience – all by itself – is not the goal.

There are countless people issuing orders in my direction –

presidents, governors, mayors, bosses, doctors, experts, friends, family.

When should I obey them?

When their orders are in harmony with Your commands.

When should I wisely but staunchly disobey them?

When doing so would require me to disobey You.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“His mercy extends to those who fear him…”
(Luke 1:50)

How ironic, Jesus!

If I fear You
I have no reason to be afraid.

But if I don’t fear You
I have every reason to be afraid.

When I fear disappointing You –

not to mention defying You –

I live a better, cleaner, happier life.

But if it didn’t bother me at all to disobey You

that would demonstrate my lack of belief in You

and bring down Your wrath.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…except Caleb…”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

Sometimes that’s what it takes, Jesus.

I have to stand alone.

When everybody else agrees to disobey Your command

I have to be willing to stick out
be ridiculed.

It doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks or does or says.

The only thing that matters is pleasing You.

Because after my time on this earth

it won’t be them I’m standing before
to give account of my one and only life.

It will be You.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was…desirable for gaining wisdom…”
(Genesis 3:6)

Most of us want to know more than we do, Jesus

at least about some things.

But that’s not what Satan was marketing to Eve.

He claimed that all she had to do was disobey God
to become wiser.

And she did.

Shortly after she and her husband were expelled from the garden
she learned that she’d have been wiser

to disobey Satan.
