" For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there."James 3:26(NKJV) 
We envy the co-worker who got the job we wanted. We envy the money our boss makes. We envy the connections that someone else has. We envy the plum assignments a coworker gets. When we envy others we’re telling God we don’t value what He’s given us. Rather than spending time improving / growing the talents He’s given us, we waste time wishing we had what others have. This separates us from God in several ways. It says to Him that: • We know what’s best for us…He doesn’t. • We value those things we want more than what He’s given us. • Things are more important to us than following His word and Jesus’ teaching. Is envy taking over your heart?
