Focus: Avoid Envious People

The word for today 
Envy is an insidious emotion that can lead people to hate or detest others who are achieving their goals, instead of being happy for them. When people are envious, they harbor feelings of resentment and bitterness towards those who are successful or making progress in life!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there." (James 3:16 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Envy is a destructive force that can undermine relationships and erode personal happiness. The Bible warns us about the dangers of envy, stating that it is more dangerous than witchcraft. Proverbs 14:30 says, "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones." This verse highlights how envy can eat away at a person's inner peace and vitality, leading to physical and emotional decay.

Envy is an evil spirit that can rob people of the joy and happiness they should feel when others are prospering and making progress. It can also diminish the goodwill and generosity that are necessary to help others succeed. When people are envious, they may act in ways that are detrimental to their success and well-being.

It is important to recognize envy in ourselves and avoid being around envious people. The spirit of envy can be insidious, and it can manifest in subtle ways. It may cause us to feel bitter or resentful towards others, or to secretly wish for their failure. However, we must resist these negative emotions and focus on our growth and progress.

In 1 Corinthians 13:4, love is described as being patient and kind, not envious or boastful. This verse emphasizes the importance of cultivating positive emotions towards others and avoiding envy. We should strive to be happy for others when they succeed and to offer our support and encouragement whenever possible.

+ Is your life free from envy?

Lord! Evil spirit will not possess me, I receive grace to live a life free from envy in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
Envy is a dangerous emotion that can undermine personal happiness and damage relationships. By avoiding envy and surrounding ourselves with positive influences, we can foster a healthy and fulfilling life!

Have a Superb Friday!
