Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…you will be utterly despised.”
(Obadiah 1:2)

Whew! That’s a tough one, Jesus!

But that was the punishment You meted out against Edom
the people descended from Jacob’s older brother.

Why?

Because of the calloused cruelty they exhibited
toward Your hurting, chosen people.

No matter how low one of Your flawed believers sinks

may I never pile on while You’re disciplining them

and risk becoming one of the “utterly despised.”

It’s not my place to add to their misery

lest some of their misery becomes mine.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are.”
(Ezekiel 3:8)

Some people wouldn’t call that Christian, Jesus.

They believe Your followers should always be
tender, loving and kind.

Most of the time they’re right.

But no one is as Christian as You Are!

You know I’m in a battle against the forces of evil.

When necessary…

You equip me to fight fire with fire.

And I am SO grateful

that Your fire is hotter than theirs.
