Jealousy

Jealousy takes root in the soil of insecurity.  Without hesitation, let’s ask God to pluck every splinter of jealousy from our hearts while we hold still in His hands; but those holes aren’t meant to stay hollow.  Let’s ask Him to plant within us a thriving, healthy sense of our security in Him.  Never forget that God is a giver (James 1:17).  Every time we ask Him to take something from us, let’s be bold enough to request divine riches in its place.  Isaiah 33:6 says He’s “a rich store” and a “treasure”.

This Bible Study is very convicting and I would recommend it.  I have bought the CD’s and workbook. This way I can do the study on my time without needing to drive somewhere to do it.  I want to add I really miss being in a group to study God’s word but that is not what God is calling me to do right now. Beth Moore challenges us to memorize all of James.  I have taken on the challenge.  Memorizing chapters at a time really does change your life as I have heard her say over the last 10 years but I have never had the time and the desire to memorize chapters at a time.  I praise God that He is helping me to do it now.  However, without being able to recite the chapters to my son I might lose my resolve.  I don’t see my son very often which gives me ample time to memorize!  Memorizing is not easy to do but it is worth it!
