Do you envy people when it seems like they have a lot more than you? Well, guess what? No, I won’t make you guess.
Actually, they might not have more than you.
In fact, they might have much less, and they might never have as much as you. Looks can be deceiving. And what you see in this world doesn’t last forever.
So, don’t envy people for their “stuff.”
I know you know this. But there sure seems to be a lot of envy running around out there. And it’s such an exercise in futility. Because the “cools stuff” other people have will turn into junk. Every. Bit. Of. It.
But you know what will never turn to junk? Grace. Yep, grace lasts forever. And God freely gives grace to the humble.
Sure, grace might not show on the outside. So, you won’t look as “cool” arriving at a party dressed in grace as you would showing up in a high-dollar suit. But those threads are gonna be moth food one day. Grace goes on FORever.
And there’s another reason you should envy people and their “cool stuff” in this world. From God’s perspective, most of that stuff is the opposite of cool. Here are some key things to remember about His perspective. He…
- says the “perverse person is an abomination”
- keeps a secret counsel with upright people
- curses the houses of the wicked
- blesses the homes of the just
- scorns the scornful
Knowing all that, it would be a wise choice to choose to love God and His ways.
It would be a wise choice to humble yourself because, like I mentioned before, God gives grace to the humble. And it’s always a wise choice to realize you’re not God And that you need a savior.
So be wise when it comes to your eternal fate. When you are, you’ll inherit glory. When you aren’t, you can only leave behind a legacy of shame. And never envy people who don’t realize any of this truth.
Grace to the humble.
Grace to the wise.
Grace to the ones who
Choose truth over lies.
