Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…David sent messengers…demanding, ‘Give me my wife Michal’…So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband Paltiel…Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, ‘Go back home!’ So he went back.”
(2 Samuel 3:14-16)

Paltiel knew King Saul gave him Michal to spite David, Jesus.

Did he surrender her to do what was right

or because he was afraid of Abner?

May no one have to threaten me, Father!

to make me do what’s right.

Examine yourself, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to him who…makes himself wealthy by extortion!”
(Habakkuk 2:6)

Extortion, Jesus

threatening to harm someone
unless they pay what I demand.

You hate that.

So would I…
if it were done to me.

But there’s more than one way to threaten someone

nor does everything I want have to do with money.

At heart, the sin of extortion is the belief that I have to threaten to harm others

instead of trusting You to provide what I need.
