GOD'S PROMISES - ENVY

It is easy to become envious of the things that you see other people have when you are lacking.  Ask God to help you and provide you with the blessings that He has for you and not to envy what others have.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?  Proverbs 27:4

Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor.  This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.  Ecclesiastes 4:4

Set me as the seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm:  for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave:  the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.  Song of Solomon 8:6

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. Romans 13:13

For ye are yet carnal:  for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and division are ye not carnal, and walk as men?  1 Corinthians 3:3
