Proverbs 14:30 (KJV) A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
Envy often stirs up bitterness in our hearts when we see what others have and decide we want it too. Perhaps we feel as though they don’t deserve particular material possessions they’ve worked for or we think negatively about ourselves because we haven’t achieved the same goals. Bitterness is poison to our souls when we allow it to control us. Instead of focusing on what others are doing, we will keep our focus on the Lord. His plan is perfect, and His timing is always right.
