Grasp it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.”
(Proverbs 3:34-35)

Much of my society has this reversed, Jesus.

They think proud mockers are strong, successful.
They envy them, aspire to be like them.

But the wise among us know better.

Today, their humility has brought them oppression

but tomorrow, eternal honor awaits!

If and when I’m forced to choose –

to have it today or have it tomorrow –

I choose forever in heaven with You!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Their land is full of idols…”
(Isaiah 2:8)

So is mine, Jesus.

Some obvious.
Others less so.

If an idol is anything that so captures my devotion

that when forced to choose

I prefer that person, place, thing or activity to You

then my city, state, nation and world
are overrun by idols.

Of course, that’s not the big question I need to answer:

Are there any idols in my life?

Please help me smash them

before You have to.
