Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“What then do I gain by being wise?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

We all want a payoff, Jesus

I’m no exception.

When we do the right thing

we want something good to happen…

to us.

But am I okay if doing the right thing blows up in my face

so long as it advances Your kingdom
and pleases You?

Am I okay if doing the right thing

doesn’t pay off till heaven?

If not

I’m not really doing the right thing.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“What then do I gain by being wise?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

 Solomon was awfully wise, Jesus.

Your gift to him.

But that question wasn’t one of his wisest.

He was limiting his research to what he could observe
under the sun.

Admittedly, that’s all he could see

but it wasn’t all there is.

The greatest gain of all is doing what You tell me to do

whether it pays off on this earth or not.

Because in heaven

it will.
