Envy

“A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones” (Proverbs 14:30).

Jealousy or envy can be caused by many different circumstances. Maybe someone not as good as you made the sports team and you didn’t. Your brother or sister got the best bedroom in the house, or a better gift on their birthday. Someone else at work got that promotion you felt you deserved and were better qualified for. It eats away inside your heart and causes bitter thoughts and unkind actions and words. This is not what is to characterise us as believers. We are told by the Apostle Paul,

“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:31).

If you take everything as from the Lord, there won’t be any room for envy and bitterness. Accept whatever happens as God’s will for you and you will have peace and contentment. Envy is indeed the rottenness of the bones.
