Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…when the report was investigated…”
(Esther 2:23)

How many times have I heard and repeated a story

without first investigating it, Jesus?

Worse yet –

how many times have I acted on that uninvestigated story?

Why would I do that?

Was it because I wanted it to be true?
Or maybe checking out the story seemed too complicated.

But if the story was about me…

wouldn’t I want the person who heard it to first check it out

before passing it on?

Get your priorities straight as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain…”
(Habakkuk 2:9)

I catch myself wanting to get ahead, Jesus.

But You make it clear:

If I cheat to do so
I’ll end up behind.

Worse yet, there’s the punishment

that accompanies the transgression.

Why would I break Your rules in an attempt to succeed on this earth?

What happens on this planet is only the preseason.
It doesn’t matter whether I win or lose here.

My reward
is in Heaven.
