Author: Kerry Shook
Text: Hebrews 12:1, Matthew 20:13-15
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
ENVY DISTRACTS YOU FROM YOUR RACE!
"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." Luke 9:62 (TLB)
ENVY IS RESENTING GOD'S GOODNESS IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS WHILE IGNORING GOD'S GOODNESS IN YOUR OWN LIFE.
"Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless-like chasing the wind." Ecclesiastes 4:4 (NLT)
"What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don't they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don't have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can't get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them." James 4:1-2a (NLT)
"But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth." James 3:14 (NIV)
"But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'" Matthew 20:13-15 (NIV)
Antidote for Envy: REST IN THE UNLIMITED GOODNESS OF GOD!
Because of God's Goodness...
1. I CAN STOP COMPARING MYSELF
"We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise." 2 Corinthians 10:12 (NIV)
2. I CAN CELEBRATE WHEN OTHERS ARE BLESS ...
