Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
- Psalm 37:1
“Fret” is one of those old words that you don’t hear much anymore, it means to be constantly or visibly worried or anxious.
I’m kind of piggybacking off yesterday’s verse (if you did not read it, you should!) in the idea of humans should not seek revenge on those who have wronged them.
Sometimes it is hard to look at people that are not Christ followers and see their fancy cars, expensive homes and top of the line everything knowing that they don’t have a relationship with God.
It is hard to not be envious over their “stuff”.
Just because they seem to have it all, does not mean they are happy, and we shouldn’t be jealous of what they have because God provides us with what we need.
They may have the best of the best material things, but they are lacking spiritual fullness.
Without spiritual fullness and a relationship with God, they really have nothing, and why should we be jealous of nothing?
