DAY 6 OF 12

Don’t Be Envious

Proverbs 14:30

…but envy rots the bones.

There was a gang of rebels led by a man named Korah. Korah was a Levite and as Levites, his family had been given an important work to do in the Tabernacle. Sadly, he was still envious of the authority God had given Moses and Aaron. Korah and his people accused Moses and Aaron of taking too much upon themselves while actually Moses and Aaron were just doing God’s command. As a result, God punished the rebels by making the earth swallow Korah, his family, and their belongings and by sending fire to destroy the other 250 men.

Envy is a feeling of wanting what someone else has. If you let it stay in your heart, it becomes destructive. Envy destroys relationships and creates bitterness. It causes people to speak and act in evil ways. 

Start counting your blessings, not others’ blessings. Be content with what you have and enjoy it with a grateful heart. Being grateful is a choice, just like being envious is a choice. Today, you can choose to be grateful and leave envy behind.

Prayer

Dear Jesus, set me free from toxic thoughts that cause me to feel envious of others. Amen.
