Rejoice in the Victories of Others

Do you wear His badge of honor and rejoice in the victories of others, when you feel as if you've been overlooked? Or are you the superficial fair-weather fickle Christian who only rejoices when it benefits self? Do, what you profess. It's no wonder the world is skeptical of Christians.

May's Message, Day 19:

From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained. Jeremiah 30:19 NIV

Are you singing songs of thanksgiving? Are you rejoicing in your victories? Better still, are you rejoicing in the victories of others when you feel as if you've been overlooked? Are you a superficial fair-weather fickle Christian that gives thanks and rejoices when it only fits and meets your own needs? I'm saddened with myself and the church as a whole when we profess with our mouths one thing and then turn and do the other. And then ironically, we wonder why more people aren't good Christians like us. Sometimes it's good to let His Spirit do a little introspection of our hearts. If we want to wear His badge of honor, then we best rejoice and give thanks to all the victories of His people, even if we feel as if it was our turn. Your turn may be next, but for now, wear His badge of honor and rejoice in the victory of the one next to you.
