Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“…the word of the LORD is against you…”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

Could there be any more chilling words, Jesus?

May they never be said about me.

But the question is, “How can I prevent that?

Actually, it’s simple, isn’t it?

If I learn and obey Your Word with all my heart
Your Word will always be for me –
never against me.

But that’s not just a concept, is it?

It’s a way of life.

The way of life.

My way of life.

Proverbs 5:6; Jeremiah 21:8; 1 Corinthians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 6:4; Galatians 1:13; Ephesians 4:20; Hebrews 13:7

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture…”
(James 2:8)

It’s possible to have one of Your laws in my theology, Jesus

without having it in my life.

How can I say I believe what You say

if I don’t do what You say?

It’s a lie, isn’t it?
If I truly believe it, I’ll do it.

Saying I believe without action
is self-deluded disobedience.

Please show me:

Where am I giving mere lip service to Your Word?

Psalms 26:4; Matthew 7:5; Matthew 23:13-23; Romans 2:21-24; 1 Timothy 4:16; James 1:22-25; James 2:14

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other…”
(1 Peter 1:22)

Okay. Let me see if I’m able to put this together, Jesus:

Obeying Your Word purifies me.
Once purified, I’m able to sincerely love other believers.

Of course, the absence of any of those steps leaves me short.

If I don’t obey Your Word, I’m not pure.
If I’m not pure, I can’t love others – at least…

not sincerely.
