Proverbs 24:1-3King James Version (KJV)
24 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither
desire to be with them.
2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their
lips talk of mischief.
3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by
understanding it is established:
The dividing line between those who have and those
who don’t have has gotten rapidly larger and larger. The middle class are being
pushed to fall in line with either the rich or the poor. As this line continues
to get larger and the classes becoming more defined the envy for having those
things that rich have has become more desirable.
The rich are flaunting their wealth on purpose and
those that don’t have anything are being visually stimulated with things that
they can’t get their hands on. Of course this may not be a foreign concept, but
if you have paid attention over the past 10 or so years, the focus on the rich
and fabulous has become more fascinating and the job market and debt has gotten
worse. So when you have a financial system that is failing and having some of
the wealthiest people getting richer the focus on the fabulous has gotten more
toxic to the point that it has become an obsession.
Do not be envious of those who have more than you.
There is nothing wrong with wanting things, but not to the point that you want
what someone has to the point of feeling like you deserve it more than the
person or are willing to do anything to get it. The Lord is faithful to give
you the desires of your heart; as long as it is in His will (not to cause harm
to someone else or yourself) ask Him and stay righteous and He will deliver
those things you desire or opportunities to get those things.
