Envy is something that we all deal with…no doubt. Something we probably deal with more than we think. ENVY operates in the same way... ENVY - produces - or leads to - ENVY NOW - you might be thinking - OK, what’s wrong with envy? Envy DENIES God’s True Character... ENVY also Chokes Out Love ENVY is the same as coveteousness - in the sense that COVETEOUSNESS is to desire something in a way that you shouldn’t... A part of ENVY is a - discontented resentment.... And God said " You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.” The call from God here is that His people NOT COVET (desire, crave) things that do not belong to them... And when we DIG deep enough into this thing called “ENVY” or COVETEOUSNESS”, we see that ENVY is this - - Envy is "Love of Self" ENVY: Denies God’s True Character When you boil is all down - our work....our skill - it all flows from ENVY... EACH of us - striving after WHAT WE DON’T HAVE!! And ENVY itself - LISTEN - respects - no one! Philippians 2:3 ESV Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. And if ENVY is the LOVE of self - we can see in Scripture how it must then WAR against Christianity... If I look to my neighbor…and I see his house, his boat, his car, his job, his wife, his LIFE.... And i think - MAN - I Wish i had that!!! When we DO that - we’re SAYING something about God! We’re QUESTIONING His control over our lives…and His goodness! Do you see - When doubts start to flood our minds. When our eyes begin to GLANCE around at what everyone else has... And we begin to CRAVE those things... Do you see what God wants us to MEDITATE on? God says - LOOK TO THE CROSS! When you’re HEART begins to DESIRE other people’s POSSESSIONS... LOOK TO THE CROSS! God says - I’ve GIVEN YOU the most precious gift EVER - in my SON... So TRUST that I will give you what’s BEST FOR you! |
