Prov 14:30 (ESV) A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot. Rom 13:13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, …….. not in quarreling & jealousy. Acts 7:9 The patriarchs (brothers), jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; but God was with him. Prov 23:17 Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the Lord all the day. — The Bible tells us that Jealousy & Envy turned the hearts of Joseph’s brothers to the point that they wanted to kill him, but settled for selling him into slavery! How sad is that! But God uses Joseph thru it all. Joseph rose to second in command of Egypt & saved Egypt & his own family including his brothers. — Gen 45:4-5 Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” & they came near. & he said, “I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. & now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. — When you find yourself in difficult situations, it is critical you turn your issues over to Him & Him only. This will always be your winning hand! Never look at the situation! Joseph was in prison for 13 years, & yet he trusted that God was with him thru it all! Never underestimate the power of God. When in doubt, PRAY! Love Mel
