Do Not Be Jealous

"Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong." (Psalm 37:1)

Many who do wrong have a great deal in this world.  For many of them riches abound and earthly treasures are great.  But let's not be jealous or envious of them.  They have already received their reward and it shall be short lived.  Let's not look at what others have stored up in this world, instead let's recognize that many have forsaken God for earthly gain.

The Lord desires hearts and souls that place Him first above all things, who desire eternity with Him in heaven.  He desires unison with His people.   He wants to dwell in our hearts and souls and for us to live and move and have our being in Him.  He loves us and blesses us continually with His love and mercy.

So let's not concern ourselves with what we have or what others have, only with what God desires of us so that we can be with Him forever in heaven.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, help me to not be jealous of others.  Instead, help me to focus on how well I am loving You and allowing You to love through me.  Amen.
