Envy Not Your Fellow Human Being by yommyuk: 1:27am On Aug 29, 2012 |
Envying the wicked of his prosperity and apparent happiness does not make us happy or rich. It does not add one dollar to our assets, but it does bankrupt our soul. Joseph’s brothers were envious of him - Gen. 37:11. Their envy led them to plot their own brother’s death and eventually sold him into slavery. Can you imagine selling a member of your family into a lifetime of slavery? Eventually, they were forced to recognize Joseph’s superior position that God granted him. Envy is a boomerang-like weapon that hurts the attacker more than the victim. The envious man feels that other’s fortune is his misfortune, that their success is his failure, and that their blessing is his curse. Only love for our fellow man is a cure for this disease. The bibles says in Galatians 5:26, “Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.” James 3:16, “For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.” Therefore, let us recognize the danger of envy and remove it from our lives. It does not build, it destroys. God bless. |
