Rise Above Envy
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.—Proverbs 14:30 (NIV)
This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.—Psalm 18:30 (ESV)
If a mistake or the unexpected happens—a misdialed number, a wrong turn, a missed meeting—instead of worrying or wishing it hadn’t happened, trust God and say a quick prayer of thanksgiving. Often our mistakes turn out to be a detour that brings blessings.
Dear Lord, every coincidence, every blessing in disguise is divine providence at work.
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.—Proverbs 14:30 (NIV)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.—1 John 1:9 (NIV)
Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.—Genesis 5:24 (NIV)
