Here’s my story: I narrowly missed losing it all. I was stumbling over what I saw the wicked doing. For when I saw the boasters with such wealth and prosperity, I became jealous over their smug security. Indulging in whatever they wanted, going where they wanted, doing what they wanted, and with no care in the world, no pain, no problems—they seemed to have it made. They lived as though life would never end. They didn’t even try to hide their pride and opulence. Cruelty and violence are parts of their lifestyle. Pampered and pompous, vice oozes from their souls; they overflow with vanity. They’re such snobs—looking down their noses. They even scoff at God! They are nothing but bullies threatening God’s people. They are loudmouths with no fear of God, pretending to know it all— windbags full of hot air, impressing only themselves. Yet the people keep coming back to listen to more of their nonsense. They tell their cohorts, “God will never know. See, he has no clue of what we’re doing.” These are the wicked ones I’m talking about! They never have to lift a finger, living a life of ease while their riches multiply. Have I been foolish to play by the rules and keep my life pure?

This 4-day Bible plan on envy, inspired by Psalm 73, explores how envy can erode our contentment, lead us to moral compromise, and damage our relationship with God. The psalmist’s journey, marked by internal struggles and doubts, reveals timeless insights for us today: true fulfillment isn't found in comparing ourselves with others but in delighting in God's presence and trusting His provision. As we walk through these reflections, we'll see how embracing an eternal perspective and treasuring our relationship with God can guard our hearts against envy, leading us to lasting contentment and peace.

This five-day plan will help you listen to His words of wisdom to bring clarity to your soul and comfort to restore your heart.
Looking for purpose? There's one thing keeping you from it: yourself. We create roadblocks from our past. In return, our purpose is flawed from the beginning. But like a mosaic, your purpose is made from the broken pieces. In the Makers & Monsters Devotional Plan, Josh White takes us through the story of David, and how "the man after God's own heart" was also flawed, yet so close to Jesus.
