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.
