Summary

Who do you compare yourself to? Why? Comparison will always lead to either despair or pride. God created you to be you, not for you to try and be someone else. Even though it may be difficult, God calls us to rejoice with those who rejoice. God has given you amazing things that envy makes you blind to. Ask Him to help you see and be content with the good gifts in your life. For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Hey, welcome to the Daily Drive. Hope your week is off to a great start. My name is Bro, an honor that you

Friday podcast. Since we have been in the final days of March Madness, you know the road to

the final four, the NCAA college basketball tournament came to an end last night. And hopefully

0:49.5

your team won and you got to celebrate. Well, we've kind of been locked in on our own brackets we've been

0:55.4

calling the fatal four. We've been talking about four things that can much more than just bust our

1:00.5

brackets. They can wreck our lives and take us out. We've talked about pride. We spent a few days

1:05.7

talking about anger. And yesterday we introduced a very underrated opponent.

1:11.5

One of those kind of considered a mid-major level flying under the radar, but it's extremely deadly.

1:17.8

It's a little thing called envy.

1:20.9

We talked about how it's insidious in nature, and even though it's listed in the Bible, right alongside of things like murder, we tend to dismiss it,

1:29.0

and if we dismiss it, it'll ruin our health, wreck our relationships, rev up or pay, steal away

1:34.4

or gratitude, and get us spending our days living in the comparison trap.

1:39.2

James 316 says this, for where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder in every

1:47.4

evil practice. So we ought to get after this, you think? You know, yesterday I told you we talked
