Devotions in Motion (Session 5) Jealousy

Quick Questions

Go to Romans 16:17 - 19 and get ready to party!

GOD SAYS

Imagine you're at a party. The first person you meet is reading magazines, and as she looks through them, she comments on how this model has the perfect nose, that one has perfect hair and that model has the perfect body. How would you begin to feel about the way you look?
The next person you meet is a guy who is talking about a pair of $300 basketball shoes that he is going to get with lights and space-age materials and glow in the dark soles. How would you begin to think about your shoes?
The next person you meet is watching MTV, talking about how if you don't dress like the people on MTV, you just ain't cool. How would you begin to feel about your clothes?

I DO

Do you think hanging out with envious people is a good idea or a bad one? If you hang out with people who are always complaining about how they don't have cool clothes or the right house. Their attitudes will start to rub off on you and make you unhappy with life and yourself.
Are you happy with who you are? Are your friends? Ask God to help you and your friends be content with everything he has given you.
