Proverbs 14:30 (NKJV) 30 A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones.
When people are angry or jealous, they may have a tendency to put down others that are doing good.
They can be very hurtful and negative toward them.
For many, it’s an automatic reaction from our flesh that needs to be adjusted.
As believers, we must not act out of anger or jealousy. We need to rise above it and be happy for others when they are moving forward, or when they are reaping from a season of doing good.
No one knows what they have been through to get where they are. It could have taken many years and a lot of steps of obedience and sacrifice.
They probably have had days where they were about to literally give up.
Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
God is good. He does not favor any one person. He treats us all equally.
We all will reap at times from the things we have done. If someone we know is in their reaping season, dance and rejoice with them instead of getting jealous.
Luke 20:21 (NKJV) 21 Then they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth…
Be happy for someone today that is reaping from the good seeds they have sown. God is faithful toward all of us and He will give to us the desires of our hearts as we follow His lead and sow those seeds.
