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, counting on God to make it right:

“…you have…shown partiality…”
(Malachi 2:9)

You hate that, don’t You, Jesus?

So do I.

When the playing field isn’t level

when referees favor one team over the other
when the in-crowd accepts a few and shuns the rest
when a parent loves one child more than another

when one person is given more than the other
though both deserve it equally.

when the outcome is decided in advance

behind closed doors
before the public vote
which takes place only for show.

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?
