Pray this Lazaroo in stark realization:

“Then the Lord God said to the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’”
(Genesis 3:13)

I know that feeling, Jesus –

I know it well –

the sick stomach that comes when You confront me
when the Holy Spirit removes the blinders
when I see exactly how much I have hurt You.

Because that’s the worst of it.

Not the guilt, though it’s terrible.
Not the consequences, which are either here or on the way.

But how I’ve betrayed You.

Pray this Lazaroo in crystal clear recognition:

“Are [the rich]…not the ones who are dragging you into court?”
(James 2:6)

What an eye-opener, Jesus.

How often do I disregard those willing to help
and fawn on those who care only about themselves?

I prefer to think the answer is: Never!

But it’s possible that I’m in denial.

This world praises many people undeserving of adulation

while looking down on those worthy of respect.

O God!

Help me rip from my eyes the blinders of this world!
