Acts 21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

Jealousy often seems to be the rule among Christians today. Here, Paul shares with the others what God has been doing. They glorify the Lord. They are excited about the move of God in Paul’s life and ministry.

As I read that the first thought that comes to mind is that we should leave the competition amongst ourselves and just glorify God for what He is doing everywhere.

It really is more about Him than it is about me and my ministry. He does the work and He gets the praise.
