Take a little comfort, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?’”
(Mark 2:23-24)

If they criticized Your followers then, Jesus…

why am I surprised –

while I’m faithfully walking with You –

when they criticize me?

Please don’t let their harsh words upset me.

After all, taking heat for You
is a badge of honor!

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled gratitude:

“…they will taunt you with this mournful song…”
(Micah 2:4)

O Jesus!

I know what it is to be taunted to my face
though most of the time, I suspect

the slams, put-downs and harsh judgments
happen behind my back.

But to be taunted in a song?

one written specifically to publicly ridicule me?

That kind of thing happens among children on the playground

but because some so-called “adults” never grow up
thank You for sparing me that.
