Jealousy
Recently, the Lord has been moving in my heart to share with you the importance of following God with your whole heart. God, being our loving heavenly Father, wants nothing but the best for us – so what do we have to lose from following Him wholeheartedly?
When I was reading through the Bible about how God was working to reach Israel, one thing stood out to me:
“I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.”
-Romans 11:11 KJV
God was working through the salvation of the Gentiles (non-Jews) so that Israel might become jealous of their blessing and want to be saved. The Gentiles heard and responded to the voice of God in obedience.
I know in my heart that if you are following the Lord, dying to yourself daily, and living for His glory, then there will be such blessing in your life that you will make people jealous! People will see your life and want what you have, and they will come to know the Lord because He’s working through you!
Please check for updates on my blog to learn more about listening to and fellowshipping with the voice of God. I’ll share more elements from my book, Fellowshipping with His Voice, on a weekly basis. I pray that it’s a blessing and encouragement to you!
