Some indeed preach. Christ even from envy and strife. Phil.1:15. Jealousy often parades behind the facade of religious zeal. Miriam and. Aaron criticized their brother. Moses. But. Gods anger reveald that it was actually jealousy that prompted their criticism. Out of jealousy. Saul sought to kill. David.whom. God had chosen to succeed. Saul as king. When. Paul was in prison some were so jealous of the way. God was using him that they preached. Christ in order to add to the apostles distress. We can overcome this harmful attitude after identifying it. Jealousy believes that someone else is getting what we deserve. Confess it and call it what it is--sin. Then give thanks. When someone is enjoying any advantage we must accept it with gratitude. Dont compare yourself with others. Gods grace enables us to rejoice with those who rejoice. Then we have little room for envy. When we are green with envy were ripe for trouble.
