Pray this Lazaroo in chastened submission:

“…he who said, ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ also said, ‘You shall not murder.’”
(James 2:11)

This isn’t about compiling a list of all Your prohibitions, is it, Jesus?

You’re making it clear to me
that I have no room to judge someone’s sin as worse than mine.

You hate all sin!

Big and little.

You want me to focus on eradicating my so-called “little” sin

instead of attempting to excuse it
by pointing out someone else’s “big” sin.

Be on your guard! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the little foxes that ruin the vineyards…”
(Song of Songs 2:15)

Sometimes it’s the big sins that cause us to crash and burn, Jesus.

But when Satan fails to take us down that way
he sends in his little foxes.

They’re the sins we tell ourselves are “no big deal.”

They’re the ones “even good Christians commit.”

Which, of course, is the point.

That’s who Satan ferociously targets:

those determined to follow You.

He’s already got the other ones.
