Learn to bless the Lord and praise Him when He does something good for......

Learn to bless the Lord and praise Him when He does something good for, or through, someone else. When someone else is esteemed above you, it shouldn’t hurt you in any way; be happy for that person, because it’s for the glory of God. He promotes each one of us, blesses and works in our lives in accordance with His dream and destiny for us. Never feel that no one else deserves to be ahead of you. The Bible says, “...Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6).
That someone else is succeeding doesn’t mean you’re failing. Be appreciative of the success of others and praise the Lord on their behalf. When God sees that humility in your life, He’ll lift you; He’ll promote you. He exalts the humble; but He abases the proud. He never wants us to be proud. No matter what God does through us, He wants us to remain humble. We should be proud of Him, and what He’s made us. We should be proud of His glory in our lives; but we should never exalt ourselves above someone else.
FURTHER STUDY:
Philippians 2:3 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
2 Chronicles 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
