When Jealously Steals Your Joy: Spirit of Comparision

Description

Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement…

One line of praise changed a kingdom and a heart. When the crowds sang “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands,” a seed of envy took root that reshaped relationships, decisions, and peace. We explore that pivotal moment from 1 Samuel 17–18 and follow its echoes into our own lives, where comparison can sneak in through metrics, milestones, or a casual scroll and quietly drain our joy.

I share a personal story from my early retail days....two managers, one chaotic floor, and thousands of markdowns before a high-stakes corporate visit, where excellence and perseverance spoke louder than whispers. 


If you’ve felt someone try to dim your light or felt that tug to dim someone else’s, you’ll find a hopeful path here.

Key passages: 1 Samuel 17-18
