Do you ever feel like the people around you to have it all? The best looking spouse, nice clothes, fancy cars and beautiful children. Never seeming to worry about anything their lives look perfect. They take family vacations all the time and money is spent freely. Have you ever felt envious? I know I have. If only I had money like them my life would be perfect. Do you wonder why God has blessed them with so much? Doesn't He know the kind of people they are? Outside of church their lives are anything but Godly. Everything they have is earned dishonestly. Cheating others is a way of life. Getting ahead is the name of the game. Only the strong survive is their motto. These are the things they teach their children. Though it doesn't seem like God sees what they are doing, He does. We may not understand why He sometimes lets the unrightous prosper and the rightous stuggle there is a reason for everything and His ways are higher than ours. We should not question Him just trust that He is in control. Don't let jealousy get the best of you.
Proverbs 23: "Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord."
1Timothy 6:9,10 "People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."
My prayer this day is that each one of us will be content with what God has provided and be thankful for all that He has given.
