August 8th: Jealousy vs. Joy: What Jesus Says When You Feel Left Out | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus
Ever feel jealous when someone else gets the spotlight, scores the winning goal, or gets the bigger dessert? You're not alone—and there's a better way to respond.
In today’s episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin helps kids understand where jealousy comes from and how God’s wisdom can turn envy into joy. Through James 3:16–17, we learn that jealousy creates confusion, but God's wisdom brings peace, mercy, and kindness. We even hear about a real-life story from Pastor Justin’s son, Canon, who learned to cheer others on—even when he didn’t win.
💡 Key Verse:
James 3:16–17 (CSB) — “For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there is disorder… but the wisdom from above is… full of mercy and good fruits.”
❤️ Big Idea:
Jesus doesn’t want us to compare or compete—He wants us to celebrate, be thankful, and love others well.
🎯 Practical Steps for Kids:
Name it – Tell God when you feel jealous.
Celebrate others – Say “I’m happy for you,” even when it’s tough.
Be thankful – Make a list of your blessings, big and small.
📣 Discussion Question:
What’s one way you can practice choosing joy instead of jealousy this week?
