Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the king summoned Shimei and said to him, ‘Did I not make you swear by the Lord and warn you, “On the day you leave to go anywhere else, you can be sure you will die”? At that time you said to me, ‘What you say is good. I will obey.’”
(1 Kings 2:42)

Solomon set Shimei up for failure, Jesus.

The guy just didn’t have it in himself
to do the right thing for the rest of his life

so his life was cut short.

Got it.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Seek righteousness…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

I have to seek it, Jesus

because I don’t have it.

Not fully.

Oh, I have my moments when I’ve done well.

At those times, I’m pretty sure You’re pleased.

Although if I did the right thing for wrong motives –
that may lessen the pleasure You feel.

But it’s those other times when I do what I know I shouldn’t

that scare me

as well they should.

Clearly, I need to seek righteousness a little harder.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…done in the ungodly way…”
(Jude 1:15)

Doing the right thing is important, Jesus.

But I’ve got to do the right thing
in the right way.

Yes, You want me to give to the poor

but not disrespectfully, carelessly, contemptuously.
You want me to treat them with dignity and love, as equals.

Yes, You want me to serve

but not as though I’m doing people a favor.

Instead, realizing I’m the one favored
to be so privileged to serve.
