Pray this Lazaroo in total dedication:

“With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood!”
(2 Peter 2:14)

What are my eyes full of, Jesus?

If not adultery, what?

Even if it’s a different sin, the result is the same.

I’ll never stop sinning.

Only when my eyes are full of love for You and Your Word

pleasing You and serving Your people

will I be able to stop my sinning
and start laying up significant heavenly treasure.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on caution:

“In their greed…”
(2 Peter 2:3)

People do a lot of shameful things, Jesus…

in their greed.

What is there about me that wants more than I need?

Why do I sometimes fail to consider that what I take for myself
could rob someone else of what they require?

But that raises the bigger question, doesn’t it?

Why do I act like it’s all about me?
Where do I get off behaving with this detestable attitude of –

“Me first?”

Be forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They have become filled with every kind of…greed…”
(Romans 1:29)

So how many kinds of greed are there, Jesus?

There’s the kind that wants more than my share
out of fear that the day may come when I won’t have enough.

There’s the kind that takes what belongs to others
because I want to have more than them.

There’s the kind that piles it up
because having that much makes me feel more important

than I really am.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…he is as greedy as the grave….”
(Habakkuk 2:5)

That’s a heap of greedy, Jesus!

Last time I checked
47,000 people die every day.

Am I that greedy?

No.
Not if I know my own heart.
Not even close.

But how does anyone become “as greedy as the grave?”

My guess is it starts with a little greed
and grows.

Do I have even a little greed?

If so, show me.
Help me stop it in its tracks.
Now.
