Hi.

My favorite song of the sixties includes a protest against excessive government regulation

Six Days on the Road--Dave Dudley (1963)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Biggirl...the week is almost over. Put your feet up and relax.

[Kathy in Alaska]

"...includes a protest against excessive government regulation."

Boy, did they have it right! Thanks, Fiji. ((HUGS))

Wokeness--60's style!

Freedom's Cause--Bill Floyd (1966)

[Hieronymus]

It isn’t so great as music—but it is memorable and slams the government.

Overcoming Envy

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 51–53
• Romans 2

Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.

1 Samuel 18:7 In the film Amadeus, aging composer Antonio Salieri plays some of his music on the piano for a visiting priest. The embarrassed priest confesses he doesn’t recognize the tunes. “What about this one?” Salieri says, playing an instantly familiar melody. “I didn’t know you wrote that,” the priest says. “I didn’t,” Salieri replies. “That was Mozart!” As viewers discover, Mozart’s success had caused deep envy in Salieri—even leading him to play a part in Mozart’s death.

A song lies at the heart of another envy story. After David’s victory over Goliath, the Israelites heartily sing, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands” (1 Samuel 18:7). The comparison doesn’t sit well with King Saul. Envious of David’s success and afraid of losing his throne (vv. 8–9), Saul begins a prolonged pursuit of David, trying to take his life.

Like Salieri with music or Saul with power, we’re usually tempted to envy those with similar but greater gifts than we possess. And whether it’s picking fault with their work or belittling their success, we too can seek to damage our “rivals.”

Saul had been divinely chosen for his task (10:6–7, 24), a status that should’ve fostered security in him rather than envy. Since we each have unique callings too (Ephesians 2:10), maybe the best way to overcome envy is to quit comparing ourselves. Let’s celebrate each other’s successes instead.

Reflect & Pray

Whom are you most tempted to envy? How can you celebrate their success?

Loving God, I thank You for my friends’ and colleagues’ successes.

[Michael.SF.]

Don't get me wrong, I worked all my life, never minded working. What I hate, is not having a job, and going out to look for one. Fortunately, that was a rarity for me.
