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.
