Gina - 1 Samuel 18:6-10

When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with timbrels and lyres. As they danced, they sang:
"Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his tens of thousands." Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. "They have credited David with tens of thousands," he thought, "but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?" And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David. The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand (1 Samuel 18:6-10 NIV)

It goes on to say that Saul threw the spear and tried to pin David to the wall. Wow. That's serious. I wonder if we can relate to this feeling of jealously? I know I can. We used an example of if Devin were the best lacrosse player and got a lot of praise and attention until a new kid came on the team and started getting that attention. We have a decision to make when that evil thought comes, to let it be conceived in our hearts and ultimately ruin us and relationships or to say "if it be your will for them to take over , lead, whatever .... So be it!! I will do what you want me to do- all for your glory and honor."

Let our desire for significance be satisfied within our covenant with our God!!
