I was having a conversation with a group of people who were asking about my weight loss last night and I got to thinking about "keeping up with the Jones's." This phrase incited when people are trying to keep up with the amount of stuff other people had, but I think it can relate to a covetous heart in general.
Take weight loss for example. I have often heard people say, "I wish I could eat as much as him and stay skinny, but I have to watch everything I put in my mouth." I have two thoughts on that. First, that friend probably puts less in his mouth than you think he does and second, even if he does eat more, that isn't the hand you were dealt. Stop using someone else's metabolism as an excuse to be gluttonous. Eat the way God intended and don't worry about what someone else can or cannot do.
