Proverbs 14:30 ” A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”

A heart at peace is that inner tranquility with contentment in what we have. But everyday we’re overrun with the lifestyles of the rich & famous. And that’s when the inner struggle against jealously effects our mental & spiritual wellbeing. Proverbs 24 cautions us about being envious of the wicked, for when we desire to follow their lead, it becomes a dangerous game of the allurement of easy money and unethical gains. We can’t compare our life to the ways of the wicked…for their ultimate fate is destruction and loss. So instead, we must keep our focus on God and not be swayed by the apparent success of those who live contrary to His principles.
