Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. Your Majesty, you are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory…”
(Daniel 2:35-37)

The king’s dream, Jesus!

The interpretation You gave
through one of Your all-time favorites:

Daniel.

I long to be one of Your favorites, too!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.”
(Romans 2:9-11)

Not much of a debate about which way I should turn, Jesus!

Straight to You.

You don’t play favorites.

But if I obey You
I’ll be one of Your favorites.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…if you show favoritism, you sin…”
(James 2:9)

We all have favorites, don’t we, Jesus?

a parent, child, grandchild
friend, coworker, church member.

Maybe we like the way they look or act

enjoy the gifts You’ve given them
connect with their more attractive personalities.

But when it comes to how I treat them

You demand that I be absolutely fair
treating them in accordance with what is right

or I will cease to be one of Your favorites!

Pray this Lazaroo with sober assessment:

“…say to the poor man, ‘You stand there…’”
(James 2:3)

Nothing wrong with telling a poor man where to stand, Jesus.
Nothing wrong with telling a rich man where to sit.

But when I tell a man he can have seat because he’s rich
and tell a man he has to stand because he’s poor

I’m in trouble.
With You.

Of course, I don’t believe in disrespect.
I don’t believe in showing favoritism.

Except…am I guilty of doing it?
