Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in deliberate allegiance:

“Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential…”
(1 Corinthians 1:26)

Sometimes I struggle with this, Jesus.

So many of the world’s shakers and movers
have absolutely no heart for You.

At times it looks like the way to get ahead

is to fall spiritually behind..

The in-crowd is almost never composed of Your loyal followers.

Oh, they may give lip service to religion
but seldom wholehearted devotion.

In fact, the fastest way to be excluded from their clique
is to be boldly, passionately outspoken for You.

It’s okay to show enthusiasm for wine, politics or sports
but in exceedingly poor taste to express deep devotion

to the King of kings
LORD of lords.

I guess I’m going to have to decide whose acceptance matters the most to me:

theirs…

or Yours.
