Pray this Lazaroo with priorities straight:

“…for your sake.”
(2 Corinthians 2:10)

How much of what I say and do is “for Your sake,” Jesus?

How much of it is for the sake of others?

I can’t live this life You’ve entrusted to me solely for my own sake, can I?

Well…I can…but not with Your blessing and favor.

But neither can I live my life first for the sake of others.

Sometimes what others want conflicts

with living my life first and foremost

for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.”
(Esther 2:17)

Interesting, Jesus.

You needed Esther on the throne to save Your people.
Vashti had to go.

You could have killed Vashti.

Instead, You let her take a moral stand

which she took and lost her throne
while keeping her dignity.

Was Vashti grateful?

Probably no more than I am when You do me a kindness
and I, heartbroken, view it as punishment.
