'Consider The Jews And Gentiles For A Moment.'
Romans 11:12.
a) Now if the Jews' trespass means riches for the World,
b) And their loss the riches of the Gentiles;
c) How much more their fulness?

PRAY: Considering the Jews and Gentiles.

Chris.
We should never be jealous of people who have great riches. God is our Jehovah Jireh and we should trust Him as such. Jealousy can really weaken the Church - even a "mega Church"! We should repent of jealousy if it is something that we struggle with. God will surely give us the victory.
