(I've probably got it a bit wrong, but that's the meaning.) Thanks for the examples, Carol. I just have to add that it's not easy being the oldest either! :p <BR/><BR/>It hit me that Moses is commended for his humility. (Either in these chapters or subsequent. Don't have my Bible in front of me now.)Dancingirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400203620215712439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199367098526365458.post-79691133820622092362008-05-07T06:56:00.000-07:002008-05-07T06:56:00.000-07:00Thanks for your vulnerability raine.

I think it is a snare more than we want to admit.<BR/><BR/>I recently had a situation where I compared, and it was edging toward envy; but God is SO faithful to whisper in my ear "Don't compare your gardens, Carol." It didn't get to that point, but I want to be diligent not to let it get there by prayer and holding my thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ!Carol Ann Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676125721105006155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199367098526365458.post-46569147416302918592008-05-07T03:00:00.000-07:002008-05-07T03:00:00.000-07:00amen. i have felt such envy, and it had to be towa...amen. i have felt such envy, and it had to be towards my best friend. we were in the ministry. she, a worship leader, and i, a keyboardist. actually my envy stemmed out not just from our ministry but from various situations. however, i really, really thank God that He did not allow me to reach to the point that i develop a bad attitude towards her. i thank God for His victory. i believe He is slowly delivering me. thanks for posting this. God bless your ministry:)Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266041955754551985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199367098526365458.post-61863027966174132092008-05-06T19:14:00.000-07:002008-05-06T19:14:00.000-07:00Thanks for including examples everyday Americans c...Thanks for including examples everyday Americans can relate to. I agree, there is a lot of competition in the Church stemming from pride and envy. (sigh) I have to watch that I don't contribute to it!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130030009656711939noreply@blogger.com
