My heart can only be tempted by what I desire. He showed me that temptation always comes. The Lord began to show me something very cool. Jealousy has been showing up in my life in two areas: Money and Ministry. I expected only one area, but God always supplies above and beyond all I could ask are think….hmmmmm yes, quite uncomfortable in this area of conviction, but oh so needed. I really prayed as I read this chapter for the Lord to show me where jealousy was showing up. Only now, my giving is much less and often feels less joyful. I come from a family of generous and joyful givers. Jealousy, envy, and mentally comparing ourselves and our circumstances with others is a wilderness mentality.”Ĭurrently, in my life I am still adjusting to this season of having less. “Minding (having our mind set on) other people’s business, will keep us in the wilderness. At least I thought that before I read this week’s chapter. Previously, I regarded jealousy as one of the things that was lower on my list of things that trouble my life. Recently, I had jealousy show up in my life.
