Pray this Lazaroo in sobered reflection:

“…the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.’”
(1 Samuel 2:30)

So much for the name-it-and-claim-it crowd, Jesus.

I can’t stand on every promise You’ve ever made
if I’m not standing faithfully with You.

May I honor you, my Savior

with everything I think, say and do!

Think again, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…like thieves they enter through the windows.”
(Joel 2:9)

Can’t stand a thief, Jesus!

If people would simply ask for help
rather than waiting till my back is turned.

Having said that…

when I’m upset about the sins of others
sometimes it’s because I’m guilty of the same thing.

Maybe I’d better do what You recommend –

and see if I’ve got a plank in my eye
so I can see clearly to remove the speck

from my brothers’ or sisters’.

Pray this Lazaroo with concern:

“…whoever hates his brother is in the darkness…”
(1 John 2:11)

Sometimes I become so upset at what someone has said or done, Jesus

that I come dangerously close to hating them for it.

Not good. So I call it by a different name:

I say I “dislike” them
I “can’t stand” them
I “want nothing to do” with them.

Maybe that’s all it is.

But maybe it isn’t

which may explain some of this darkness I now battle.
