A few takeaways from today's quiet time:
1. Jealousy is truly purposeless and adds not a single benefit. If we allow jealousy to seep into our hearts, we are essentially falling for the schemes of the enemy and allowing ourselves to succumb to the measures of the world.
2. Jealousy is detrimental to our spiritual health because it prevents us from focusing on God's calling and will for us as individuals. Jealousy blinds us from what truly matters.
3. The goal is to have an eternity mindset, where we are not striving to be better than our neighbors, but rather to be more Christ-like.
My prayer is that I will remember the true Biblical standards I am called to and not the worldly standards as I journey through life. I pray that I will be aware of when jealousy is creeping into my heart and that God would help me to get rid of any jealousy. I also pray that He would grant me wisdom in how to speak and act in order to guard the hearts of others and prevent feelings of jealousy.
