Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in righteous alarm:

“This is what the LORD says: ‘For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath. They sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals.’”
(Amos 2:6)

I know human slavery was real back then, Jesus…

just as real as human trafficking is today.

People literally selling other people –

treating them like animals
using them like a commodity to be abused
discarding them when they’re through.

But there are other, more subtle ways to sell human beings, aren’t there?

I can “sell someone down the river” –

betraying a person who trusts me
in order to gain an advantage for myself.

I can sell my own soul –

deliberately doing something wrong
to get something I too desperately want.

O God!

Spare me from this ugly “selling” business!

because I’ve already sold myself…

to You.
