About this listen
Jealousy has been defined as “resenting God’s goodness in others’ lives and ignoring God’s goodness in my own life. Jealousy is an enemy of our hearts because it causes a lack of contentment and gratitude toward God.
Main Points:
1. Jealousy can lead us to become angry, bitter, and unforgiving. It can lead us to gossip, lie, or be malicious. Jealousy can lead us to steal, commit adultery, and even murder.
2. The cure for a heart struggling with jealousy is to resist the temptation to compare yourself with others.
3. Here is a great truth: “I already have more than I deserve.” So, why am I complaining and being jealous of others when God has given me more than I can ever possibly deserve?
Today’s Scripture Verses:
James 3:16 – “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.”
Proverbs 23:17 - “Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.”
