Pray this Lazaroo in aching compassion:

“…what do your arguments prove? Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat my desperate words as wind? You would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter away your friend.”
(Job 6:25-27)

That must be how the suffering feel, Jesus

when I point out to them the error of their ways.

Job was in the right.
His friends in the wrong.

Is it possible I’m the one who’s in error?

Help me set a guard over my mouth.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…the first lot was for them…”
(1 Chronicles 6:54)

Were the descendants of Aaron lucky, Jesus?

After all, they were casting lots.

No. It wasn’t luck.

Yes, the lot was cast into the priest’s lap
but its every decision came straight from You.

To this very moment, no one says or does anything

unless you order it
or allow it.

That doesn’t remove the responsibility of my free will.

It just reminds me that my will

can’t thwart Yours.
