I Corinthians 13:4 "It (Love) does not envy." Envy means to have a feeling of resentment or discontent based on someone's possessions, position, abilities or opportunities. What we fail to realize is that with every position a person is given there is a price that had to be paid. We have to ask ourselves a simple question: "Am I willing to pay the price to be in a different position?"
Many times we should not focus on where people currently are, but should rejoice in the that where they used to be they are no longer there. We should be ready to listen to the praise report that someone has instead of finding ourselves envious. The fact that God not only delivered them, but elevated them, is encouraging that where you are you will not always be. And when he decides to remove the chains off your life, He is also going to bless you with increase. There will be evidence that you have had an encounter with Christ and when we find ourselves envious we are focused on the evidence of God's presence in someone else's life. Sometimes God has to bless someone else to show you what you missing out on due to your disobedience. So instead of asking "Why them?" we need to be asking "Why Not me?" and "What must I do?"
So how what do you have to do to have evidence that God has shown up? Are you words and behaviors aligned to God's will?
"Put yourself in a position to be evidence of God power." - C. Holmes
