What’s Your Push #3 

What’s Your Push #3 

And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.“ Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭

What is motivating your efforts? Why do you do what you do ? Do you it because of need or because of desire to be first ? ” Most of us pursue our  work with rivalrous attention to those we see as competitors, and challengers. Unfortunately even in ministry and church work we do the same. Here is what Paul says: “Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.“ Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬-‭5‬. We are encouraged to enjoy who we are without going into the comparison game. Life is too short to live with an envious eye on others. 

”A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.“ Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭30‬
