Have you ever had a thought like “Why do they have ______________ and I don’t?
– it’s not fair!†You can look at it as “Trading Placesâ€; think about it if you were content you could not be in a state of envy! This is usually coupled with resentment and can lead to sinful behaviors like lying or stealing to get what we crave.
One of the worst things we can do is comparing our self to others, we should compare ourselves to: • Who we were
• Who we are
• Who we want to be (As Christian that would be Christ)
Where in my life do I need to shift my attention from others to me?
This verse is great in regards to Envy: Job 5:2 Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.
