Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Early in my ministry, I became jealous of another ministry leader. While his ministry was growing and flourishing, I became critical of his work due to my jealousy.
Eventually, I realized that God wanted my best, without being concerned about other people’s successes. I apologized to this leader and chose to focus on my stewardship, not others.
Competition can become unhealthy and lead to disastrous conclusions. For example, Cain became jealous of his brother, Abel, rather than admitting his own failings.
1 John 3:12 says, “Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.”
Pause today and ask yourself if you are harboring jealousy against someone.
