Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed recognition:

“Are [the rich]…not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?”
(James 2:6-7)

You hate it when I fawn on the rich, Jesus –

when I favor them over the poor.

It’s so easy to be so awed by a profane person’s apparent success

that I forget theirs is not an example worth following.

Of course, there are good rich people, too.

But may I honor them for their goodness

not for their wealth.
