Scripture
Psalms 126:1-3
When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
Observation

Application
Do you get happy when someone else is blessed? I mean really happy. What about those you don’t necessarily like? Jealousy and envy can set in very quickly. I know it has got me a couple of times. OK, maybe more than just a couple. I have seen friends get promotions that I thought I should have got. It is hard to be genuinely happy when you are sulking. Do you know what I found? There blessings weren’t meant for me. My blessings were coming and they were meant for me at just the right time. So cheers to your blessings today We’ll celebrate mine later tomorrow!
Prayers
Lord, I thank you for all of my blessings, but I also want to thank you for the blessings you bestow on those around me. I know you have the perfect gift for each of just when we need it. ~Amen
