Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: “If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.”’”
(Zechariah 3:6-7)

You love doing this for us, Jesus –

giving us huge incentive to honor You.

Cause Your holy passion to rise within my soul

to become everything You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”
(2 John 1:6)

We’re not to obey everything, are we, Jesus?

Obedience – all by itself – is not the goal.

There are countless people issuing orders in my direction –

presidents, governors, mayors, bosses, doctors, experts, friends, family.

When should I obey them?

When their orders are in harmony with Your commands.

When should I wisely but staunchly disobey them?

When doing so would require me to disobey You.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience…”
(2 John 1:6)

Contrary to popular opinion, Jesus

love isn’t a feeling.

Feelings are deceptive.

Sometimes I feel good when I should feel bad.
Sometimes I feel bad when I should feel good.

Feelings are about me.

Obedience is about You –

and those around me
who can’t feel what I feel

but who know they’re loved
when they see the evidence.

Feelings come and go.

Love stays.
Because love obeys.
