Good morning, everybody. I hope you had a great weekend. It is Monday for our morning devotionals.

It's my hope and my desire that you join me every week, and we could walk through the week together

looking through the lens of the scriptures and of faith, hope, and love. Wednesdays, I'll have

dangerous conversations with my son James, and then Fridays, a weekly

wrap-up of politics and culture, helping you to find truth with your family in the midst

of all of the chaos. So check out every new episode, Monday, Wednesday, Friday on YouTube.

Today's morning devotional thought is this, You're going to wake up today and you can

look over the fence and gaze at someone else's life and be jealous of what they have

and their life, or you can tell yourself that God has blessed you with things you could never

earn.

And the choice you make will determine the quality of your day.

Do you ever struggle with envy?

Do you ever have a case of jealousy, a case of the I wants, the they don't deserve it,

but I do?

Jealousy and envy is a joy killer.

Do you ever feel like some people just have the life that you deserve?

Like they've got it so much easier than you. They don't have to deal with the difficulties and challenges that you deserve. Like they've got it so much easier than you.

They don't have to deal with the difficulties

and challenges that you do.

Do you ever find it difficult to celebrate

other people's blessings that you believe

you deserve more than they do?
