Pray this Lazaroo with higher intent:

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by injustice! Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?”
(Habakkuk 2:12-13)

When the purpose is evil, Jesus

it never stands.

Doesn’t matter how hard they work.
Doesn’t matter how smart they are.
Doesn’t matter how much money they spend.

Purify all my purposes, LORD!

If I’m going to exhaust myself
I want it to count for eternity!

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“Woe to him who…establishes a town by crime!”
(Habakkuk 2:12)

I can’t even begin to imagine how many towns have been established by crime, Jesus.

It has to be a huge number.

But the point is this:

It didn’t pay off.
Not for the people who did it.

Oh, they may have appeared to prosper in the beginning
but the end is what matters –

and that was a different story.

Well…unless they repented!

In that case
You turn our woe…into “Woah!”

Pray this Lazaroo with deep concern:

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed…”
(Habakkuk 2:12)

Most of us haven’t built any cities with bloodshed, Jesus.

But what’s the principle here?

You’re telling us how much You hate it

when we tear others down
to build ourselves up

when we’re so focused on our own success
that we give no thought to its impact on others.

Am I doing that anywhere in my life, Jesus?

If so, show me!

So I can stop it.
