Lazaroo – Friday, May 18, 2012

May 18, 2012 I Lazaroo.

 

Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with the integrity of God:

“Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.”
(Isaiah 1:23)

Clearly, Jesus…I need to watch out for leaders like these.

It doesn’t matter how attractive they are

how slick their ad campaigns
how tempting their promises
what I have in common with them
how well-known their names
what party they represent

how many famous people they get to endorse them –

if they rebel against Your Word

love hanging around with evil people
can be bought with cash, influence or gifts
don’t care about the plight of the powerless

they will not get my vote!

I need to look for their exact opposite:

someone who honors Your Word
surrounds himself with people of integrity
refuses to be bought

and has Your heart…

for the weak.
