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 with catalytic dedication:

“…to see if you would…be obedient in everything.”
(2 Corinthians 2:9)

Everything.

That’s a lot to be obedient in, Jesus! 😉

I believe I’m obedient in most things…

but I get it –

that’s not the goal.
That’s not good enough.
That’s not what You want.
That’s not what You deserve.

Don’t let me cave in to the temptation to compare myself to others

pointing out where I’m strong and they’re weak
while ignoring where they’re strong

and I’m weak.
