Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with burning emotion:

“At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent…”
(Zephaniah 1:12)

What will Your lamp expose when You shine it on me, Jesus?

Is there any complacency in me?

Am I taking for granted any of the wonderful things You’re doing for me?

Do I have the attitude that my relationship with You –

my devotion
the 1on1 time I spend with You
the service I render You
the way I treat Your people
my dealings with

my family
friends
coworkers
neighbors
strangers

are somehow “good enough?”

that I don’t have to try any harder
grow any more
strive with any greater intensity –

that because of Your great mercy

I can just coast?

Certainly, You want me to rest in You.

But may I never harbor the wicked thought that I’ve done enough to express my gratitude for all You’ve done for me.

Impossible.
