Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-21

Proverbs 14:30 (NKJV) 30 A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones.

Envy and jealousy; the two things that will keep us bitter and hard toward someone or something.

Watch out, for they can creep up on us and we won’t even see them coming in.

I (Pastor Ellie) was visiting with some people this past week, and I noticed that I sensed a distance with them toward me. It was kind of blatant and it bothered me because I didn’t know why.

They were behaving much differently than normal. They were quiet and hardly talking to me at all; kind of like I wasn’t even there.

I asked God what it was that I was sensing. He said these two words; envy and jealousy.

I asked God what I could do on my end to fix it. And He said, “not a thing in your case. There’s nothing you can fix; because you’re not the one that let it in”.

We all need to check ourselves from time to time, to make sure these 2 things don’t sneak in for any reason. Because once they do, they grow and they get stronger and stronger.

It can sneak in very subtly.

We may not even know it’s there, but it could be making us miserable and depressed at times. It could even be the reason why we think everyone is against us and nothing good happens to us.

So, let’s keep an eye on this in ourselves, because It could be the reason why we don’t have good relationships, or any relationships, for that matter.
