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 every fiber of your being:

“…you have…shown partiality in matters of the law.”
(Malachi 2:9)

Not something that pleases You, Jesus.

You gave Your law to be applied equally, fairly, to all.
Instead, they used it inconsistently

holding some to its righteous standards
excusing others.

I can’t begin to imagine how displeased You are

with my inconsistency, LORD.

Please forgive me!
I am utterly without excuse.

All I can do is give it everything I’ve got

and beg You to be Yourself in me.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Here’s a good seat for you…”
(James 2:3)

There’s nothing wrong with offering somebody a good seat, Jesus

unless I’m doing so to favor the rich over the poor.

What is there in my makeup that causes me to automatically respect someone wearing fine clothes

and look down on someone dressed shabbily?

If I knew them as only You do

it’s possible that the poor person is the one who deserves my respect
and the rich one my contempt.
