Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few."  DAVID (1 Samuel 17:45) David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

3. The evil of envy  (Romans 1:29) They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.  (Galatians 5:20-21) …idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions {21} and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.  (James 3:16) For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.  The opposite of envy is love (1 Corinthians 13:4) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

4. Addressing our Jealousy  GOD – Humbly submit to God’s authority. He controls all things – so others may have it better. He deserves all praise – so I don’t.  ME – Admit, confess and repent of jealousy. It’s sin. Then accept God’s grace.  ME – Deal with my own insecurity. Always review that my significance is God's love for me Thankfully review that all I have is by God’s grace  OTHERS – See people like God does Praise God for the successes of others. Affirm/encourage those with the success you long for.
