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.

Sunday, July 7, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“The total number of Levites counted at the LORD’s command…”
(Numbers 3:39)

It’s a good thing You’re the one who ordered this, Jesus

because the Levites were not to be counted.

That’s a bit confusing.

First You tell them not to do something
then You order them to do it.

What am I to do with such commands?

Obey them each time!

Don’t do it when You say not to.
Do it when You command it.

Pretty simple, really.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate, wholehearted adoration:

“…keep my commands in your heart, for they will…bring you prosperity.”
(Proverbs 3:1-2)

I do want to prosper, Jesus.

But not the way I used to think.

Prosperity – true prosperity – isn’t about money or fame.

As precious as these are
it isn’t even about health, friends, family.

The prosperity for which I long is whatever comes

with being in the absolute center of Your will.

Not one centimeter to the right.
Not one centimeter to the left.

That’s it.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.”
(Genesis 2:8)

Seriously, Jesus?

They actually tried to hide from You –
the One who made them –

and the trees they were cowering behind?

There’s no hiding from You, is there?

Nor – unless like Adam and Eve I’ve sinned –
would I ever try to.

So since this whole “hiding from You” thing is utterly futile

help me refocus my mind, passions and energy

on wholehearted, guilt-free

obedience.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble, grateful trust:

“I am not writing you a new command…”
(2 John 1:5)

That’s a good thing, Jesus –

because I’m not yet following the old ones.

Well…

I am most of them
but not all.

Sometimes that depresses me.

I know that by now, I should be farther along.

After all, the standard isn’t anything less than full and complete obedience.

But to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you love me anyway
means more than words can say.
