Jealousy Can Eat Us Up And Destroy Us

Transcript:

“Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul so that he struck the spear into the wall.” Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. The spirit of jealousy consumed Saul in his relationship with David. His jealousy opened a door to a demonic spirit that entered his life and destroyed him. He envied David because of his youth, his looks, his success, his talent, his charisma, and his popularity. He became so threatened he tried to murder him. The lesson here: it’s critical for us to reject every temptation to be jealous of others and instead choose to recognize that their success and ability come from God. Let’s choose to accept that the success others enjoy is God’s will for them, and that his will for us is to focus on the role that God has assigned to us and to serve him faithfully there whether anybody notices us or not.
