Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire…”
(Habakkuk 3:13)

What a humbling thing to hear, Jesus!

That I can work my fingers to the bone every day of my life
only to have You snap Your fingers

and burn it all up?

That’s what becomes of everything I do for the wrong motives.

But O God!

Everything I do to please You

becomes eternal treasure

that will never fade, spoil, nor pass away!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Seek righteousness…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

I have to seek it, Jesus

because I don’t have it.

Not fully.

Oh, I have my moments when I’ve done well.

At those times, I’m pretty sure You’re pleased.

Although if I did the right thing for wrong motives –
that may lessen the pleasure You feel.

But it’s those other times when I do what I know I shouldn’t

that scare me

as well they should.

Clearly, I need to seek righteousness a little harder.
