Pray this Lazaroo with deep satisfaction:

“To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:25)

What a relief this is, Jesus!

When I see evil people prospering, I can smile.

It doesn’t need to bother me.

They’re not getting away with anything.

They’re simply piling it up for those who – like I –
are determined to please You.

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 in humble adulation:

“…in accordance with all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.”
(1 Chronicles 6:49)

Your Word is more than a suggestion, isn’t it, Jesus?

It’s a command.

I can’t choose which commands I like and obey only those.

It’s all or nothing.

Your Word is an expression of Your very self.

When I fully obey Your Word, I’m choosing to

please You
honor You
follow You
be like You

which is the deepest longing of my heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“This is good, and pleases God our Savior…”
(1 Timothy 2:3)

That’s what I long to know, Jesus!

that what I’m saying and doing
are good and pleasing to You.

You see it all –

which means You see much that breaks Your heart.

The pain that causes You…
I can only imagine.

So if I can be the opposite of that

if my thoughts, words and actions
put a smile on Your face

it would be my highest honor.
