No Begrudging or Envy

Another feature that is common to both: their spirit was free of all grudging. The queen surveyed the glories of Solomon and could look on his higher and more excellent estate without the stir of one single jealous, envious movement. She was too happy for that. She could congratulate the king in Zion, his servants that waited on him, and his people who heard his wisdom. She could return home as one who was privileged only to visit him, but she did not begrudge them the richer portion they were enjoying. Her own share of blessing filled her, though her vessel was comparatively small.
The eunuch, I am sure, was willing to be a debtor to Philip—to know that it is the less that is blessed of the better. Let it be so, his spirit would say. He was happy and he was filled. If there was no void in his spirit, so we may assure ourselves there was no grudging there.
What joy there ought to be as we look at such samples of divine workmanship! The soul is disturbed by reason of its own condition, fixed in earnest searching for Christ, satisfied by the discovery of Him, and then too happy to dwell amid the tumults and jarring of that nature that lusts to envy! How noiselessly the process is conducted. It goes on in the spirit of a man by the power that works after the pattern of the wind that blows where it will, but whence it comes and whither it goes we know not.
