Greetings to all; as we begin this new week, let no one make us feel undeserving of our purpose and who we are.
As God's people, we are encouraged to let our light shine. Self-promotion can seem arrogant and strong. However, when we are put to the test, there is no denying who we are, our purpose, and God's plan. To avoid the work of evil, we must be aware and not allow jealousy and envy to overtake us when we see the success and shine of others.
James 3:16 (NCV)
16 Where jealousy and selfishness are, there will be confusion and every kind of evil.
Lesson: In times of testing and judging, it is wise to focus on our identity and unique life purpose and have faith in God's plan. We must resist the temptation to envy other people's success. We should celebrate other's accomplishments. Their success is a testament to the goodness of God and the potential within each of us.
