Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority…to the emperor, as the supreme authority…”
(1 Peter 2:13)

This one’s hard to do, Jesus

whether the supreme authority is an evil dictator
or somebody I voted against.

But it has nothing to do with them, does it?

You command me to submit to them
for Your sake.

So for your sake – when it comes to preference –

I will.

But if they ever require me to disobey You

they can take a hike.

Tender your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
(Philippians 2:3-4)

Caring about others above myself, Jesus?

That truly does take humility!

I tend to think what I’ve got going on is all-important.

But that’s how they feel about their lives, too.

So doesn’t that cancel both out?

Why should I give them preference?

Only if I truly believe that in doing so

You will bless, heal, guide and protect me!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…his command is that you walk in love.”
(2 John 1:6)

Most of us do a better job of talking in love, Jesus

than walking in love.

Loving words are easy.
Loving behavior is hard.

It’s not love when it’s something I already like to do.

That’s convenience.
Self-pleasure.

Love begins

where preference ends.

It’s love when I do something for another person

that if I had my druthers

I’d never do for myself or anyone else
in a thousand years.
