Lazaroo – Friday, October 23, 2009

2 comments, Oct 23, 2009


Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with no-holds-barred surrender:

“If they say, ‘Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for someone’s blood, let’s waylay some harmless soul…’”
(Proverbs 1:11)

Have I ever given in to that temptation, Jesus?

Have I

blindsided the unsuspecting
exploited someone’s weakness
strengthened my position at another’s expense?
joined in with others to gang up on someone who was all alone?

Yes, I have.

Oh, maybe I didn’t always see it that way at the time. I may have

justified it for the greater good
even told myself I was doing it for You

but no matter.

I’m guilty, all right.

Guilty as sin.

That’s a terrible seed to sow.

One I desperately do not wish to reap.

O God!

Help me sow a truckload of good, holy, righteous new seed

with all my heart

that will undo every single

uncaring
thoughtless
inconsiderate
unintended-but-nevertheless-vicious bad seed

I have ever sown.
