This is a shorty but a goody, okay that was cheesy but I really do like this scripture because I see snippets of myself in it. I can remember times when God was doing something awesome and either my selfish ambition got in the way or someone else's and messed up everything. I have learned more from mistakes than obedience to check myself and get Zac out of the way.
James 3
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Man i see this first hand everyday at work, there is so much jealousy and self ambition that you can just feel the evil all around you and it is easy to get caught up in it. No one can get along for worring about how to get one up on the next guy, it is tough but i pray God helps me to overcome it daily.
