Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They are…arrogant…”
(Romans 1:29-30)

Arrogance is pretty hard to stomach, Jesus.

When I see it, I cringe.

Sadly, it almost always shows up in those You’ve blessed!

Instead of realizing their gifts, skills and triumphs are from You
they believe it’s all because of them.

They think it’s due to their hard work, their brilliance
their superiority over others

which sets them up for Your inevitable punishment

and their disgrace.

May I never, ever – ever!

follow in their footsteps.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then you will become their victim.”
(Habakkuk 2:7)

We all believe we’re better off than some people, Jesus.

But just because that’s true today
doesn’t mean it will always be so.

You raise up those who are low

and humble those You’ve lifted so high
that they’ve become proud and arrogant
convinced of their superiority.

Next time You bless me, LORD

help me be humbled
by the knowledge that it’s Your loving, merciful grace

and not what I deserve.

Pray this Lazaroo in God-inspired humility:

“…their nobles would not put their shoulders to the work,,,”
(Nehemiah 3:5)

I know some people like that, Jesus –

who believe they’re too “noble” for hard work
who believe they’re above breaking a sweat.

But there’s nothing noble about laziness

or an attitude of superiority.

Give me the humble man or woman who will do whatever it takes

every time.

And help me be a person of true nobility

who willingly puts my shoulder to the work.
