Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with no-holds-barred surrender:

“So the Israelites did everything the LORD commanded Moses…”
(Numbers 2:34)

I’m the king of doing “most things” You command me to do, Jesus…

but not everything.

That’s not good, is it?

My problem is, “Everything” is a lot.

“Everything” leaves no wiggle room
no opportunity to pick and choose
no grading on the curve.

When I think about it, though…

why wouldn’t I do everything You ask of me?

You have my best interests at heart
You know me better than I know myself
You see the future I can’t see.

You would never ask me to do anything
that wasn’t good for me.

It’s just that I don’t want to do some of the things You ask me to do

Why?

Basically…because I’m selfish, immature, lazy and blind.

Wow.

Maybe I should take another look at doing everything You tell me to do.
