Vain? Antagonistic? Want everything? WRONG!! Galatians 5:25

Good morning everyone!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
   Galatians 5:25 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Look at these words - do not be what?  Desirous of vain glory!!!  Wow!  Does this speak to anyone but me.  What is vain glory?  Could it be the "hey, look at me, see what I did" attitude?  This is not living according to the Holy Spirit -- it is grieving the Holy Spirit.
   Let's go on - let us not---provoke one another - can you say Wow, WOw, WOW?!?!  How often does the vain glory bring about provoking.  An example is sports - winning, but not a gracious winner - like the conflict between Sherman and Crabtree.
   Then the last part of this verse - let us not........envy one another.  Could we replace envy with the words covet, lust after, long for, etc.?  So what we are being told here is be humble, getting along with our brother, and be content with what you have and where you are in life.  The Holy Spirit is the source of our new life, so, let us keep in step with His leading.
   Can you, or do you live up to what we are being told not to be?  Appreciate your feedback. Love you all. 
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
