Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:
“…you will be utterly despised.”
(Obadiah 1:2)
Whew! That’s a tough one, Jesus!
But that was the punishment You meted out against Edom
the people descended from Jacob’s older brother.
Why?
Because of the calloused cruelty they exhibited
toward Your hurting, chosen people.
No matter how low one of Your flawed believers sinks
may I never pile on while You’re disciplining them
and risk becoming one of the “utterly despised.”
It’s not my place to add to their misery
lest some of their misery becomes mine.
